Táto sága sleduje osudy waleského princa, ktorý v roku 1170 vyplával na západ cez Atlantický oceán. Tri storočia pred Kolumbom založil v Severnej Amerike novú waleskú kolóniu. Príbeh sa zameriava na boj osadníkov o prežitie v neznámej krajine a ich interakcie s domorodými americkými kmeňmi. Ide o epický príbeh o odvahe, objavovaní a stretávaniach kultúr.
A.D. 1170-Embittered by the tyranny of the English monarchy, Welsh prince Madoc sailed with ships of settlers across the Western Ocean in search of a new home. Three centuries before Columbus, he landed on the southern coast of North America and there founded a colony of free Welsh in fertile but alien terrain. As they sought to carve out a settlement, they encountered tribes of Native Americans-and shared their struggle to survive in a wild land.
