Veranix Calbert leads a double life. By day, he\u2019s a struggling magic student at the University of Maradaine. At night, he spoils the drug trade of Willem Fenmere, crime boss of Dentonhill and murderer of Veranix\u2019s father. He\u2019s determined to shut Fenmere down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that goal in mind, Veranix disrupts the delivery of two magical artifacts meant for Fenmere\u2019s clients, the mages of the Blue Hand Circle. Using these power-filled objects in his fight, he quickly becomes a real thorn in Fenmere\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
