Synopsis

A MEDIEVAL DARK FANTASY SERIES



A great darkness is in the earth and supernatural forces are gathering around to take action and take over the world. The people believe that God has abandoned them and the earth is separated from the heavens. The people of the earth search for a mighty warrior to rule over them. They search for someone to swear that they will rule the world and bring the darkness out of the earth. The creatures of the night plague the lands and desire to take rule of the people.



One man who takes the mantle to rule the world is none other than Julius of Romania. A man who sought nothing more than ambition and power to defeat his enemies and save his family. He makes a deal with the Demon Wolf and becomes victorious over many obstacles, battles, and onslaughts. One year passes by and his daughter, Lagertha of Stockholm, drinks the blood of the wolf and becomes the queen of the wolves. Her one and only purpose in life is to honor her people by killing her father and ridding him from the madness that overtook him.



Many other people come who are linked together by fate and destiny. They are all cursed with all sorts of powers and tragic pasts. They all swore to live by the sword and die by the sword for the sake of saving their people and driving the forces of darkness away from the world. They would all make many hard choices and many sacrifices along the way. On this journey, they will come face to face against a man whose ambition clouded his soul and made him desire to rule the world and bring a new age to the land.



They are called the three hunters: Delphine of Moria, the Cursed Knight; Ragnar of Midland, the Ranger; and Iris of Kattegat, the Huntress. They are all bound by the blood of the wolf, and they were all found by the magic of the Wolf Queen. Together, they will do what is necessary to fight back against the demons and end the tyrannical reign of Mephiles, the Demon Wolf.



The Devil and the Huntsman is a new medieval dark fantasy series.

Wanna know what I like about this story? The way its presented and the way everything is fleshed out. This is something I might see adapted as a long running webcomic and everything about this is so cool! I’m totally looking forward for more chapters from this author!

One of the greatest stories ever written! This is the kind of stuff I love to read and the kind of stories that I will always recommend! Amazing story and writing, amazing characters, amazing imagery and style, amazing heroes and villains, great lore and backgrounds, and all kinds of readability all put into a massive story. This is like... Castlevania meets Seven Deadly Sins, Vinland Saga, and Berserk. A masterpiece of a story and I highly encourage all fantasy nerds and anime lovers to give this story a try!

What an incredible series that was. I gotta be honest, this is one of the better stories I’ve read on this website. It’s that series that perfectly combines dark fantasy, King Arthur legends, sword-and-sorcery, and horror all at once. I truly hope this author doesn’t give up on this series and I truly wish for more chapters to come out!

It's so rare to find webnovels like this. The lore and worldbuilding are interesting, the characters are complex, the writing is amazing. It doesn't rely on tropes to tell its story; it's just a good, old dark fantasy tale reminiscent of Castlevania and Dark Souls. I can't wait to catch up to it. Congratulations to the author, you've created something amazing!

An intriguing, engaging story that reminds me a lot of Dark Souls. This story is pretty much a mixture of The Seven Deadly Sins anime with the tone and atmosphere of the Soulslike games. I never laid this book down and I was interested as soon as I read the Synopsis. It's one of those books that should definitely be read by anyone who is a fan of medieval settings and dark fantasy. I'm definitely looking forward for many chapters to come!

The story perfectly captures the world that the author has envisioned, a dark, macabre world riddled with terrifying creatures that come out during the night. The pace of the story is steady and can be followed easily. It has a great element of world background and makes you feel as if the story isn't centered around the actions of the main character and that the world carries on in the background regardless of what the protagonist is up to. The main character is multi-layered and not at all like the one dimensional protagonists you would find in other stories. I'm looking forward to future updates from this story.

I like the premise and it is very interesting. The pace is very quick, which I like. Nothing is perfect, the tenses do change from past to present. But that's about the only gripe I have.

A poetic style blended with a gothic, macabre tone make this one of the most uniquely written novels on the web. You can tell the author is really putting everything of themselves into each paragraph. A true hidden gem, and that's only based on chapter one. Truly looking forward to what comes next.

Really good. Well-defined atmosphere and world building. Consistent formatting, solid grammar and spelling. A long running series that has gotten consistent updates. It's very well plotted and paced. There are a lot of reasons to pick this one up.

It has the poetic writing style, which I personally find similar to the kingkiller series by Patrick. It is Fantasy novel. The best from my personal point of view. Just that he has been delaying it for last 10 years. The author of this book can try to read that book. Although I hate Patrick but it will help you a lot in your writing.

It is close to perfect!!! I really love the synposis and the first few chapters of the story! Your writing style is perfect! It almost brings me to the fantasy world. And most importantly it has a dark fantasy genre!!!! [img=recommend]The only thing that I could recommend to you is the spacing. I noticed the paragraphs are all congested into three or four sentences. It would be better if there are varieties of spaces like two sentences for this line, one sentence for this part, and four sentence for this line, and so on. You can disregard my suggestion or not, it is all up to you, mate! I love your novel whether this happens or not. Kudos for the author~
