About the book

In this fifth Outlander novel, Claire Randall, a doctor who travels through time from the twentieth century, lives alongside her husband Jamie Fraser, a Scottish warrior of the eighteenth century. The couple is settled on Fraser's Ridge, where their daughter Brianna and her husband Roger Mackenzie, also arrived from the future, prepare to formalise their marriage and have their baby christened. Meanwhile, unrest spreads through North Carolina as the American Revolution draws near, and Jamie is asked to raise a militia while serving a king he expects to betray.
