asexual fantasy & social demons

[ex_pippin880]

I'm looking for two things.

One, fantasy with no/very little romance.

Two, stories involving societies having 'pet' demons/etc. for whatever reason. I don't want individuals dealing with demons for individual reasons, I want whole towns or affluent families who keep demons over the generations for the good of their society.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

fantasy with very little romance

[kathmandu]

A College of Magics, by Caroline Stevermer. YA/fantasy, has a little romantic feeling as a minor element near the end, but the main focus is academia, magic, and politics. Our heroine is decisive and determined, and the most prominent secondary character is a friend she makes in school, who accompanies her on the political mission that occupies the second part of the book.
