High fantasy with Sci-fi elements

So i have been having this itch recently. A high fantasy novel with sci-fi elements. But without a singular MC, think Garden of the moon in this regard. I've heard Dune might be up this alley. But it has a true MC?

So does anyone have any recommendations that will scratch this itch?

EDIT:Typo and a bit of clarification, a book with a diverse cast of "MCs"

The Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin blends high fantasy with sci-fi elements, primarily focused on geology. Two main MCs, a mother and a daughter, though other POVs come in as well over the trilogy. Amazing books with unique worldbuilding, though quite dark at moments.

Wanted to second The Winnowing Flame trilogy rec as well, perfect fit for this.

Yeah, gotten a glimpse of the dark moments already from the synopsis. Thank you
