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 stared at Eithne. He couldn’t move. She had just told him to kill the man who raised him. Sure, he’d not told him everything about his father but there were other things he’d done such as helping Cato to make a name for himself in the army…to honour his father.


“He used you,” Skoll chided once more. “He trained you to fight your own people. The actual people who honour your father’s name.”


Cato’s head felt like it was going to split open. A painful whiteness flashed behind his eyes. The world began to spin. Suddenly he felt hands grab his arms and steady him.


“Easy there Roman,” Eithne’s soft voice drifted across the flashes of pain. “Let’s get you back to Boudicca. There is much to discuss.”


Her voice was soft and distant. Almost as if he was hearing her underwater. Another voice began to mumble behind him. Eithne responded to the voice, but Cato couldn’t make out what they were saying.
