Can some one help me remember the name of a book i read?

I read it a long time ago. It was part of a trilogy i believe. The main character is part of a group of people that were known for their horses (called something like kahn's?) , and the antagonist group was known for their ability to conquer and their special swords which seemed to have smoke trapped within the blades. The swords were supposed to be unbreakable and were aptly made to break other swords. I think the Main protagonist's name started with J. I really want to pick the series back up, if anyone can remember the name.

This book is definitely high fantasy and wasn't part of a mass market series like goosebumps, and from what i remember it was around 300-500 pages long and i read it in at the public library around 7 years ago, but i don't think it was a new book at that point. maybe the author's name started with a T, but the original part of my question is all i 100% remember.

    One aspect which may trigger someone's memory: Was this a book intended for middle-grade readers, young adult-teen readers, or full-out adults?

    Things to include: The decade or general timeframe in which you read it; whether it was old or new at the time; whether it seemed to be American English, Great Britain English, Australian English, or some other, which you'd identify; whether the books was intended for children (picture book, or not?), early readers, young adults/teens, or adults; whether it was hardcover or paper-bound, and if paper, whether it was one of the large ones or the mass-market size; the cover art (realistic picture, cartoonish, photograph?) and color; and of course as much of the story as you can recall, including who the main character was, what his/her goal, need, or desire was, and what stood in the way.

    You'd be surprised how often providing all that information can trigger somebody's memory--maybe even your own.
