Billy Bartram joins his naturalist dad on an airship expedition through the eighteenth-century American wilderness to find a lost Welsh kingdom. Billy must prove his worth as the group is tracked by French soldiers and threatened by a savage bear-wolf. Weaving together real historical figures and legendary tales, the steampunk fantasy provides an interesting take on the period; an author's note explains the liberties taken.
