Bastard son of the king and member of the magic-wielders Council, Peregrine the witch has a lot of power. He also has powerful rivals. When one summons a demon to kill him and destroy his line, he must find a way to stop him and gain the throne. Bound to serve a powerful witch, the demon Winter wants to complete his mission, kill the one who bound him, and return home. The longer he hunts Peregrine, though, the more he comes to appreciate him. Now Winter doesn't want to kill Peregrine, and Peregrine finds himself drawn to the dangerous, seductive demon. With a mortal's compassion, and a demon's cunning, Peregrine entraps Winter more securely than his rival ever could.
