The Runes of Issalia was Jeffrey L. Kohanek’s starting point, the series that built the foundation for everything that followed. The Buried Symbol (2016) introduced the world, and The Emblem Throne, An Empire in Runes, and Rogue Legacy expanded it through 2018.
The series established the magical rune system, political structures, and character lineages that Kohanek would develop across multiple follow-up series. A bonus box set edition collected the complete series for readers coming to it after discovering the later Wizardoms books.
