The Heroic Legend of Arslan

My own review pending.... I'm on ep. 7?
This series has been in several different formats from novels to manga to anime.
Recently Hiromu Arakawa used the story from original novels (different author), and turned it into a manga of her own style. You may know her as the mangaka of Full Metal Alchemist. 

Summary:

In the kingdom of Pars lies the Royal Capital of Ecbatana, a powerful city ruled by the fearsome King Andragoras. Arslan, the 14-year-old prince of Pars, is a green ruler and lacks the fierce leadership skills possessed by his father. After his father falls victim to a treacherous plot headed by one of his most trusted comrades, the kingdom of Pars falls in the war with the neighboring nation of Lusitania. Narrowly escaping with his life, Arslan must embark on a journey to reclaim the fallen kingdom and fulfill his destiny as ruler of Pars.
