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.

Hunted in the Mist

Cato and Boudicca were stuck staring at each other. Someone had been spying on them. What did they overhear? Was it Brin? Cato thought to himself. It could have been him, simply checking in on Cato and he got shy at seeing Cato with Boudicca. 


“There’s only one way to find out!” Skoll urged Cato, spurring him into action.


Cato leapt out of the water, the strength in his legs powered by the fire still burning within him. He chased after the shadowy figure fleeing into the woods. 


“The scent Cato, the scent,” Skoll pressed on.


Cato took a deep breath in. He filtered all the familiar scents rushing into him, the frozen soil, the strong fragrance of pinewood, and narrowed in on his target. The scent was both strange and familiar. Cato couldn’t place it. All he knew was that he was closing in on his prey.
