Once a feared figure in the magical underworld, Rico “The Alchemist” Maldino walks away from a life of chaos, potions, and power—hoping for peace but finding anything but.
After years of building an empire through enchanted narcotics, Rico attempts to bury his past and live a quiet life. But ghosts don’t rest easy, and neither do enemies. When an ancient war resurfaces and a new breed of magical criminals rise, Rico is pulled back into the shadows he tried to escape.
Armed with wit, wicked alchemy, and a heart he swears he no longer has, Rico must battle rogue sorcerers, corrupted allies, and the demons within. Along the way, he clashes with a mysterious, badass woman who matches him blow for blow—and challenges his very soul. In a world where loyalty is scarce and betrayal is magic’s currency, redemption comes at the cost of blood, love, and loss.
A Renounced Drug Lord is a fantasy-action-comedy packed with brutal twists, dark humor, explosive battles, unexpected deaths, and an emotional journey toward light. Rico may be renounced—but the world isn’t done with him yet.
