Synopsis

Hugh Rolien, the third Grand Sorcerer of Malediction, escaped his dark life from the Order of Somacht, taking his wife faraway and for a time enjoying the pleasures of life.

However, in the race of life, his past caught up to him. An Arch Nightbringer contracted by the Order was sent to kill him and his wife who was pregnant with triplets.

In a desperate attempt, he makes a deal with the Nightbringer to leave its seed in his children as long it doesn't kill or corrupt them, in exchange for his wife's and his life.

A contract is signed, with the malignant entity vowing to reap the children at the end.

The children are born, and Hugh splits them, giving them to his trusted friends to raise, away from the Order.

They grow, each with his own agenda and power.... but the Order still pursues....

1. Why are you reading my review when the story itself speaks its perfection? Anyhow!! I haven't read such a well detailed story in a long time. The first person POV made it even better ngl. So the story is really intriguing which you prolly can tell from the synopsis. But the novel itself is amazing. The notable part about it is that, though it's fantasy, it is still realistically written which makes it even more intriguing. However, you can only tell the beauty of the work by reading it for yourself so don't miss out on this masterpiece! Also Author, good job. It was all easy on eyes, no errors. Everything was perfect. I do hope that the story progression turns out as nice as the writing. Good luck and happy writing!~

I really like how the book is written. You could even feel the emotions that the author infused in each of his/her words. I also feel a bit sad about the MC's situation with his girlfriend, if only there wasn't any restrictions on him, then every misunderstandings would've already been resolved. Anyway, keep up the Good Work, Author~

What an amazing stunning work, this is way better than my own. I really loved the plot and the development of the story, althought it was going in a slow way, it still captures my attention. I especially liked the way the first chapter started, also how the author finished every chapter an captured my attention. Now stop reading my review and continue writing, if your a reader then stop reading my review you too and start reading this art. In the end, all I could say is this is a wonderful novel.

Good plot, interesting world building. The author takes his time to explain the world more deeply, but it's well described. So, instead of looking at this handsome Shrek here, go read the novel and see if I'm telling the truth! ⢀⡴⠑⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠸⡇⠀⠿⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡴⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⢄⣠⠾⠁⣀⣄⡈⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠁⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠂⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⢿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⡾⣁⣀⠀⠴⠂⠙⣗⡀⠀⢻⣿⣿⠭⢤⣴⣦⣤⣹⠀⠀⠀⢀⢴⣶⣆ ⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⣽⣾⣿⣥⣴⣿⣿⡿⢂⠔⢚⡿⢿⣿⣦⣴⣾⠁⠸⣼⡿ ⠀⢀⡞⠁⠙⠻⠿⠟⠉⠀⠛⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣌⢤⣼⣿⣾⣿⡟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣾⣷⣶⠇⠀⠀⣤⣄⣀⡀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠉⠈⠉⠀⠀⢦⡈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣽⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠲⣽⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣜⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⣶⣮⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠉

Well, it's a good story but it's a little bit heavy to me. But, that's just my opinion. Overall, its moderate read and I love to read more like this

An amazing experience from the start. The flow of the plot is masterfully done, and the characters all have unique actions and personalities as well. The descriptions are well thought of; containing realism and humanity within them and the characters. I'm quite amazed to see this story bloom, and despite it being Chapter 10; it feels as if I was watching a movie while reading this. Overall, this is one of those type of novels the author needs to be proud of.

So at 7 chapters this book has more review than mine, that should say something. Now thee major part of the story I paid attention too wasn't the story itself. Just the authors writing. Its...intricate to say, like he's so descriptive, sometimes he talks like something out a shakespere book. The story itself is kinda generic and ofc the CIA is involved. All in all i love reading, i just hope....it continue

Okay 👌 I am ready to go!! Interesting novel. The plot is amazing and the style is unique. The title already gave a hint, we will be dealing with three Mcs. Although we have met just two. The hound and the thief, both jaded interesting characters. Can't wait to meet the Devil! *Hahaha* Evil laughter. I enjoyed the book, truly.

Here are my honest thoughts about this novel based on what I read so far, World Building: The world-building in this novel is a mix of the modern world and with some supernatural element that makes it intriguing. Therefore, I suggest the author to give more expansion about the world especially the supernatural world. Character: The MC in this story is quite cool and interesting due to his story theme is a man that try to run on the past, but it has consequence which is his lover die. I also like how the MC handle the death of his girlfriend is quite mature and the way he narrate the story in the first person is very intriguing. Hence, I can see a good development or character arc of his journey. However for Linda character, I do hope the author can expand more further about her and how she is really impactful for the or meaning MC life. So it can make her sudden death more fascinating to follow or even make Linda become more interesting as a person Overall, this is a very decent read and I do see a big potential in this novel. Thank you much and Keep up the good work!!!

The devil hound and the thief is when you take a wonderful idea and give it an excellent execution. Saying that the devil hound and the thief is a great story would be an understatement, the writing style and the plot are unique but the coherence and consistency is the real charm here. Not once in the story was I ever bored. The story is fast-paced and MC is likeable and not generic, quite refreshing to be very honest. There is just one slight issue here; there are certain chapters which have pacing issues, though they might just be specific to me since I have read fast paced novels for most of my life. Other than that, it's a wonderful story.

Loved the novel, I can see quite a lot of details and can say this is experienced writing. It's a great one but I would suggest that you change the cover as it's sort of offsetting. Even if you use an image online and credit in you synopsis, I can guarantee the novel itself will gain more popularity. Synopsis is good, plot is well developed, I can see potential. Prompts to the author.
