Shadow Hunt by L.M. Prieto & Jayson Taylor

[reviews_and_ramblings]

In a fantasy world there is a political feuds. Two distant cousins fight for the throne. Kenth has his own right motives and to obtain the throne he has to kill all the heirs till the banshee, the witch who has cursed his family, will declare him the right king. To kill Kenth summon a demon, Winter. Winter will not be free until he will satisfy the oath of Kenth. His latest victim is Peregrine.

Peregrine is the bastard son of the latest king and he is also a witch. And virgin. He has sacrifice his chastity to maintain his powers and he will lose them if he breaks his oath. And now the task of Winter is to find him, take him, and kill me. And the second part of the cast is not so distasteful for the demon.

Peregrine is not a naive character. He is thirty years old and he is clever. He knows he can't win the demon, so maybe he can bring him to his side. Winter is merciless but he also esteems the sharp mind of Peregrine... and also his fine body. Kenth is not an all negative character, he is also beloved by his people: I think we will see him again...

An interesting fantasy novel where not all is white or black: Peregrine is an all positive character (white) but Winter, the demon, is not all black and above all Kenth, the villain, can gain your simpathy. At the end, he is by his order that the Demon choose to first bed the Witch instead of kill him.
