Hunted in the Mist

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 is created by Adam Toefy, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 27

Cato’s eyes trace the curves of Boudicca’s body as she stood basking in the moonlight. This has to be a dream, Cato thought to himself as he became entranced by the water droplets sparkling on her skin.

“If this was a dream,” Skoll interrupted, “You know what would happen next.”

Boudicca looked up at Cato and flashed him a coy, luring smile. He felt his heart leap into his throat. At that moment he became aware of his own nakedness. His hands dropped to cover himself.

“No need to be shy Roman,” Boudicca giggled. Cato felt her eyes trailing down his body. His ears began to burn. “You definitely have nothing to hide. Come. Join me. I’ve been expecting you.”

Confusion swept through Cato. She wanted him to see her. To see all of her. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, Cato thought.

“Now we’re getting somewhere,” Skoll howled in the back of Cato’s mind. Seriously, there were times when Cato wanted to muzzle the voice in his head.
