About this series
300 Years' before Columbus there was a Welsh prince named, Madoc
Cherokee folklore tells of a brave group of moon-eyed, pale-skinned explorers who many generations ago crossed a great water to reach their lands. These people called themselves Welsh, and their story begins here . . .
The North Wales princedom of Gwynedd mourns the death of its greatest leader, Owain. Not all grieve though, his son Dafydd, positions himself for an audacious power grab.
Owain's bastard son, Madoc unearths evidence of a murderous plot, but his duplicitous half-brother Dafydd is one step ahead of him. Caught up in a sibling power struggle, the net closes on Madoc, but a chance meeting with an old friend from the Norse city of Dublin offers him an escape route, although there is a grave price to pay.
Exiled in Dublin, a plan is hatched for a triumphant return to Gwynedd, but there are bumps in the road to negotiate. One of the agents sent back to garner support for the cause is captured, while their host's beautiful daughter proves to be a fatal attraction for Madoc's boisterous young half-brother, Cynwrig.
The story reaches its dramatic and heart wrenching climax on the ancient druidic island of Anglesey. Will Madoc succeed in restoring order and justice to his homeland, or does a wondrous new world far across the ocean beckon?

Dai Pryce
Born and bred in North Wales; after graduating from The University of Leeds with a Mining Engineering degree, Dai spent the next seven years living and working (often four km underground) in Southern Africa. This was followed by spells living in California and London. Although calling the beautiful state of Colorado his home, he returns to Wales on a regular basis to visit family and soak up that indefinable magical atmosphere and experience the sense of belonging he feels nowhere else – a Hiraeth if you will. Proper fish and chips and CAMRA pubs serving real ale are the icing on the bara brith.
