Octavius Cadmus Cato is a Camp Prefect of the 9th Legion Hispania. Under the command of his father, Atticus Costa, the 9th legion is successfully leading the push for Rome’s conquest of the island of Britannia. While encamped for the winter, Costa assigns Cato to escort Boudicca, a princess of the Iceni tribe, a tribe loyal to Rome, north to negotiate a peace treaty between the Brigantes and the Empire. Plagued by dreams of angels and gods, Cato's journey takes him through a land of myth and magic as he is forced to confront his long-forgotten past.

This is a tale of dreams and nightmares, of secrets and deceit, of love and loss. Cato must find his way through betrayal and save those he loves.

Hunted in the Mist

“Welcome back to the land of the living Roman.” Raweg spat. “Good to see someone has some real fight in them. Too bad your friends didn’t make it.”


The giant man pointed towards the dead legionary across from Cato. His heart filled with dread. What did he mean? 


“I am pleased you’re awake.” Raweg grinned, half bowing sarcastically. “Now you get to see the entire ritual.”


“What are you talking about?” Cato hisses through clenched teeth. 


“So impatient.” Raweg laughs. The rest of the men join in. 


Raweg walked back over towards Lingus. The Iceni men began to chant. 


“Oh, I was worried you’d forgotten about me.” Lingus bellowed. His centurion’s voice carried over the din of booming tribesmen. 


Cato couldn’t help but smile. This man stood in the face of certain death, at the hands of these savages, and didn’t even bat an eye.
