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

Cato awoke to find himself still stuck in 


the same clearing as the night before. The ground had almost completely been covered in snow, except for a patch of dirt around where Cato had been resting. His shoulders and knees felt as though they had been torn from his body.


“Mithras, Lord of Light, give me strength,” Cato muttered, stretching out his stiffened limbs. “What happened last night?”


“Still praying to your Roman gods?” Skoll interjected. 


Cato continued to stretch his legs. He felt as though he’d run up a mountain. The clearing gave him a good view of the sky. The cloud cover had cleared up, but Cato could not find the moon. Soon it would be dawn and they would be expecting him to show himself.


“Why not just run?” Cato wondered aloud. “The 9th must be warned. They will reach the Brigantes territory in a few days if not less.”
