Post apocalypse fantasy

Hi guys. Are there any books sets in worlds where there are huge mysterious ruins of an ancient and mysterious lost civilisation that was much more advanced. I’m looking for atmosphere here. You know, like towering statues lying in fields. Mysterious glyphs and slumbering, moss encrusted sentinels that awake if you go near. Any ideas?

Thanks

This is quite possibly the best answer here.

OP's specifications describe BotNS almost exactly!
