The Minotaur's Lantern: His Gentle Beast (Starfall Banners #4)
Baert Ochs
Bastien is a minotaur monk sworn to vows he never consented to take. The lantern he carries burns with compulsion magic—and it's slowly killing the gentle soul underneath.
Crispin is summoned to break an impossible curse. But the real trap isn't the magic. It's the belief that obedience and devotion are the same thing.
In a temple that demands surrender, Crispin must teach a gentle giant that choice is the truest form of worship—even when everything he's been taught says otherwise.
The lesson of the Lantern Star: choice over compulsion.
