Sarah Monette is a writer I've always stayed away from as being reputedly "grimdark," which holds no appeal, but under the name Katherine Addison she wrote The Goblin Emperor, a book I adore and have reread >1x and which is in essence all about goodness and decency triumphing over wickedness and cunning machinations. I have no idea whether it would appeal to you, and perhaps you have already read it, or picked it up and rejected it, but I figured I'd mention it.
