Veranix
Calbert majors in magic at the University of Maradaine. However, instead of studying or partying at
night, the student targets destroying his father’s murderer, Dentonhill crime
king Willem Fenmere.
Up
until now Veranix has been less than a gnat in his feeble assaults against his
formidable foe; but tonight his luck changes when he hijacks a shipment
containing two magical artifacts that Fenmere's thugs were delivering to the
Blue Hand Circle mages. Deploying his
loot, Veranix turns from helpless wannabe into the powerful disruptive
Thorn. Not long afterward, at the same
time Veranix faces expulsion issues at college; Fenmere, the Blue Hand Circle
and other mages and other lethal foes compete for the honor of assassinating The
Thorn.
The
first Maradaine crime fantasy is an enjoyable thriller starring an obsessed
avenging lead and an equally fascinating villain. The electrifying storyline is fast-paced and
filled with action, but lacks depth re the physics of magic in the intriguing
world of Marshall Ryan Maresca. Still The
Thorn of Dentonhill is a rousing opening act with more to follow.
