I'm not 100% sure of these since it's been ages since I read them:
C. S. Lewis: Narnia books, especially The Horse and His Boy and Last Battle, where entire nations were doomed as evil.
Lackey's Gryphon trilogy could work. There is mistrust between a nation of dark-skinned humans and the group of magical refugees formed of humans and non-humans, though in the end they do make an alliance.
Gail Garson Levine's Ella Enchanted.
Maybe some early Patricia C. Wrede. I'm thinking of books like Shadow Magic, Daughter of Witches, and Caught in Crystal.
I'm sure there are countless others, but these are all I can think of at the moment.
