Synopsis (Goodreads):
To be fair, he's very much NOT human, so his actions are absolutely in character. He's a creature who's driven as much by instinct and his beast as by his head and heart. He's not cruel, exactly, but he's definitely a creature born in a land shaped by magic and curses where the first rule is to survive so you can breed up the next generation and claim whatever land you can hold.
As for Calavia, she's...complicated. If the truth of her humanity gets out, she'll be eaten alive. Maybe literally. She was brought up on her mother's stories of the horrors that could befall her and she's tucked herself away so deeply so barely knows who she is anymore.
In some ways, Astegur isn't the hero she wants, but he's the one she needs. Because when they finally get together, they fit in all the best ways.
Two brothers down, three to go. Things look like they're going to be complicated and I like that.

Synopsis (Goodreads):
Orcs to the northThoughts on Minotaur: Prayer: These books are a little darker than I've been reading lately. (For the record, not too dark, or anything, just a little darker than normal.) By that, I mean Astegur takes a while to see Calavia as an actual person who he needs to treat like, you know, an actual person.
Goblins to the east
Centaurs to the south
Minotaurs to the west
Calavia was known as the hag, a swamp witch, and a dangerous being to those who threatened her sanctuary, Prayer. No one knew the lost girl that she truly was, surviving each day in the cursed Labyrinth, hiding her humanity from the hordes of monsters who would tear each other limb-from-limb to possess it. When a minotaur arrived on her doorstep with a human woman, she helped them... for a price.
And when they fled, she was left alone with the wrath of the centaurs that had been chasing the pair. With her magic dying, her protection failing, and a war on the horizon, she summons a champion.
Astegur Bathyr—the third bull begat of the legendary warlord Steelslash, and heir to the Bathyr tribe—was drawn to Prayer and the haunting female within. But for what reason? The wiles of mist witches had never held his interest, but her mouthwatering scent on the curse-laden night mist held him as surely as any mortal chain.
To be fair, he's very much NOT human, so his actions are absolutely in character. He's a creature who's driven as much by instinct and his beast as by his head and heart. He's not cruel, exactly, but he's definitely a creature born in a land shaped by magic and curses where the first rule is to survive so you can breed up the next generation and claim whatever land you can hold.
