The Thorn of Dentonhill series by Marshall Ryan Maresca follows Veranix Calbert, a magic student who wages a secret war against the drug trade in the Dentonhill neighborhood of Maradaine. Starting with The Thorn of Dentonhill (2015), Veranix balances his studies with his nighttime activities as a masked vigilante.

The Alchemy of Chaos (2016) and The Imposters of Aventil (2017) continue his story as his reputation grows and imitators appear. This was the first of the four Maradaine sub-series to launch, and it establishes many of the setting details that the other series build on. Readers who enjoy superhero-style vigilante stories in a fantasy setting will find this series hits that mark.
