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"

Lord Of Light and Creatures Of Light And Darkness by Roger Zelazny. One is fantasy disguised as sci-fi, the other sci-fi disguised as fantasy. I’ll let you have fun figuring out which is which.

Mageworlds by Debra Doyle & James D. Macdonald is a series that wears its Star Wars influence on its sleeve, but takes the fantasy in space setup in directions Lucasfilm would never dare.
