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 opened his eyes. All he could see was pitch black darkness. When had the fire gone out? He couldn’t remember. Sleep made his mind groggy. He couldn’t focus. Visions of legionaries being torn apart by the Lycan hordes tormented him. 


“I saw Rome burning.” He whispered into the darkness. “Thousands of Lycan running rampant through her streets.”


“It was just a dream Cato,” Skoll assured him. 


Cato had quickly become accustomed to the second voice, answering all of the rhetorical questions. At first, it had been difficult to concentrate but he quickly adapted to sorting the inside voice from the outside voices. And then there was the threat of staring out into space while they conversed, making him look like a mad man.


“You’re doing it again,” Skoll chuckled cruelly. Cato would speak with him later about etiquette. The thought almost made him laugh out loud. Speak. Ha!
