The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself is based on a Young Adult novel series (The first series on the first book, "Half Bad"). It's about Nathan, the son of a legendary blood witch. Unfortunately, he was born in enemy territory of the Fairborn witches. As the feud between Fairborn witches and Blood witches play out, Nathan discovers more about himself, his family, and this warring world of witches.
Catering to young viewers, it's got elements of romance, one-sided characters just to drive the drama, and plot holes that can be quite annoying. If only the villains, namely Soul and Jessica, could be more well-balanced characters. The other characters, however, are unique and interesting. But unlike many teen drama, this series is decidedly much darker and bloodier than most teen series. The darkness drives the story's intrigue, because not everything is rose petals and fairy dust, so the plot does have an element of unpredictability. There's more novels, so there's more story in this interesting world. I am looking forward to see if future series get better...
