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

“I cannot allow it!” Tribune Nonius Balbus paced the Principia, seething. “I will not allow it. You go too far Costa. Making deals with these barbarians without my consultation.”


Cato stood, biting his tongue. Again this began to feel oddly familiar. How did he end up here? Listening to this rich spoiled son of a senator. This man knew nothing of politics, allowing his own biases to get ahead of his rationality. Such a man knows only the luxuries that come with standing on the marble of the senate. These spoiled children, put in positions for the prestige were one of the few things Cato truly detested. They cared very little for the greatness of Rome unless it was to inflate their own egos.
