Beast Quest: Torgor the Minotaur by Adam Blade

The pair of horns was followed by a bull's head, with eyes that reflected the scarlet of the sky. Below the neck was a man's body covered with thick black hair. He wore a leather belt around his waist and in one hand he carried a giant axe with a golden blade. A red jewel glittered where the axe-head met the handle. Torgor was much taller than Tagus. He let out a roar of fury.
