Jeffrey L. Kohanek has built an interconnected fantasy world across forty-five books and nine series since 2016. The Runes of Issalia and Wardens of Issalia series established his world-building, and the Wizardoms saga, spanning Fate, Fall, and Dawn of Wizardoms across eighteen books, expanded the scope dramatically.
The lighter side of his catalog includes The Outrageous Exploits of Jerrell Landish and Tor the Dungeon Crawler, which bring humor and adventure to the same fantasy world. The Hijinks Investigations series, launching in 2025, adds a mystery-comedy angle to his fantasy setting. Kohanek writes the kind of epic fantasy that rewards long-term readers while keeping individual series accessible as entry points.
