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 25

The young man striding over to Cato took his attention away for the briefest moment. As he turned back to Raweg, all he saw was two rows of razor-sharp teeth only moments away from tearing off his face. A rugged hand tugged at the nape of his neck and Cato watched as the lycan’s jaws clamped shut on thin air.

Cato fell back into the soft earth just as two well-dressed men jumped on Raweg and pinned him to the ground. Cato wasn’t close enough to make out what they were saying but he knew chanting when he heard it. The strange oscillating tones shook through one’s entire body.

“Eithne!” The pale man cried out. He turned to a short scrawny man by his side. Cato hadn’t noticed him before like he was hidden behind the pale man. “Find her now!”

Cato assumed based on his earlier statement that he must be the Pict prince, Drest. He’s the one Boudicca is supposed to marry. Cato looked the noble warrior up and down. Though he has noble blood, he has no truly desirable qualities.
