Sigh. A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin. Although that actually does have a few child POVs, most of them are at least as hard core as any of the adults. Also, The Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. Those are the best, read them and come back.

Joe Abercrombie - The First Law trilogy, starting with The Blade Itself.
I think I might like it even more than ASOIAF/MBOTF atm, although that might change when/if those series ever get finished.
But if you're an Amerikkkan, the series isn't completely published there yet and you'll have to wait some months for the last book.
Maybe try The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, although they're more like caper novels instead of epic fantasy (if that is what you're looking for, just "fantasy" fits way too much stuff to more than guess).
Also look forward to Richard Morgans The Steel Remains, it has gotten really good reviews from those fuckers lucky enough to get an ARC. (also, fuck yeah Richard Morgan, go read his scifi)

But he sure put a smiley that is contrary to his whole post, so I thought that perhaps he just wants something popular to read.

Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. Some consider it to be in the fantasy genre.

I just read Neil Gaiman's Stardust. Great book from the best.

Stardust was one of the shittiest books i`ve ever read
I love Mistborn but I think its probably not hard core enough for OP. Although there arent really any little kids in it.

There aren't any kids in The Hobbit, the protagonist is like 50. It's still a children's book.

The Fafhrd and Grey Mouse ones, Michel Moorcock Erlic and Runic Staff ones, Roger Zelazny, Tanith Lee, Old Lord Dunsany, if you want a good challenge read Beowulf/the Nibelungs in classical version.
Probably you have enoug of little kids messing it everywhere so dont read the Black Cauldron even if is a good series
The Malazan books of the Fallen are awesome. Although the first time I read Gardens of the Moon I didn't really like it that much because the author just sort of throws you into this giant world with no landmarks. By the time I finished reading the second book I was hooked. By far my favorite series.
