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

Raweg and the rest of the men dropped to their knees. Only Cato remained standing, his eyes fixed onto Eithne’s. She stared directly into his soul, and he felt the discomfort of being read. He could tell she enjoyed seeing people squirm under the pressure of her gaze, but he would not give in. She must have realized his determination because she quickly looked down at all the kneeling Iceni warriors and eyed Raweg particularly.


“Well, go on then,” Eithne urged. “Make your challenge. I’m sure this problem can be resolved with the spilling of blood.” 


She smiled as the word blood exited her lips. Like she enjoyed the taste. This woman was a true monster, Cato thought to himself. For the first time since their bond, Skoll remained quiet. Cato felt his heartbeat in his chest, this time out of fear. There was something in the way that Skoll kept quiet that told him the wolf was hiding from Eithne’s piercing gaze.


Raweg was the first to rise to his feet.
