Madoc never knew his long dead grandfather, the King of Wales. He was aware, however, that his father was the Mandan War Chief, and that was enough to live up to. Warriors were supposed to be brave, strong, and silent. Madoc was brave and strong, but no one would say he was silent. No matter how hard he tried to hold them in, messy words escaped his mouth daily. Homeless orphan Cory Morgan struggled to survive on the streets of her Welsh port town. One day, Cory and a friend wandered to the harbor and accidentally set an apple cart tumbling. Fearing retribution for their foolhardy actions, they hid in a cargo crate aboard a departing ship. When a storm blew them off course, they were plunged into Madoc's world - a place unlike any they had seen before. With the help of friends, Madoc and Cory elude a common enemy, discover mysterious family ties, and experience incredible adventures that propel them toward their destiny.
