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 kept his eyes on Raweg as Eithne made her way out of the arena. The burly man clenched his fists so tight, that his knuckles turned white. 


“Let us get this over with then Roman,” Raweg sneered.


Cato prepared for him to charge but what happened took him completely by surprise. The giant of a man slumped down onto the ground and collapsed into a heap. Cato was too stunned to speak. He turned to where Flaithri and Arlan were standing and waved his arms around. What was going on?


“Never take your eyes off of your opponent!” 


Skoll’s cry rung through Cato’s head. He turned to see Raweg standing back up. The veins in his body seemed to be moving under his skin and Cato could hear his joints dislocating. His face began to protrude more as a snout began to form. The sound of cracking bones filled the air. 


“Cato!” Arlan called out. “You must transform before it’s too late!”
