Book description
Their love has survived the test of time. But can it survive fate?
America, 1772. It is only a few years before the war of independence
and the colony seethes with unrest. As battle lines are drawn up and
loyalties tested, no one is safe in this new country.
Jamie Fraser receives a message from Governor Josiah Martin. He
wants Jamie's help to keep the backcountry safe for King and Crown.
But Jamie knows what's to come. His wife, Claire, has travelled back
from the twentieth century and she knows what will happen to those
loyal to the King of England. Exile or death. Neither prospect appeals
to Jamie.
But Claire knows something else. From her own time she's read an
article, dated 1776, reporting the destruction by fire of their home
on Fraser's Ridge and the death of those who live there. Jamie hopes
Claire is wrong, for once, about the future. But only time will tell...
