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

Without a moment’s hesitation, Boudicca and Cato set off sprinting southward. Cato wanted to shout for joy. It felt good to run free through the forest. Even he was surprised by how much he enjoyed it. 


Boudicca ran next to him, keeping pace nicely. They leapt over gnarled tree roots rising out of the ground and cleared large fallen trees. Cato felt the wind swish passed him as he picked up speed.


“We must maintain a good pace!” Boudicca shouted over the howling wind. 


Cato could care less. The world seemed to open up for him as paths became more and more obvious. He could see where a deer had passed through, its scent still hung fresh in the air. The desire to chase it down swelled within him. His heart slammed against his ribs; he could feel it pulsing throughout his entire body. 


“Cato!” Boudicca hissed, clamping a hand on his shoulder, and pulling him to a halt. Her smoldering green eyes drew him in intensely. “Focus.”
