"It is 1779 and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser's Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible. Yet even in the North Carolina backcountry, the effects of war are being felt. Tensions in the Colonies are great and local feelings run hot enough to boil Hell's teakettle. Jamie knows loyalties among his tenants are split and it won't be long until the war is on his doorstep"--Provided by publisher.

Jamie Fraser and his time-traveling wife Claire know that the Americans will win the Revolutionary War, but neither knows the cost of victory, or whether they will survive the dangers of war, while their daughter Brianna, her husband Roger, and their children settle in Jamie's ancestral home two hundred years in the future and find their own fate intricately entwined with the life and death of those they left behind in the past.

The fifth novel in the Outlander series finds eighteenth-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his wife Claire Randall, a woman who has traveled back in time from post-World War II England, in the American colonies in 1771 and preparing for the coming revolution.

Two decades later, for a second time, Claire Randall travels back to eighteenth-century Scotland to be reunited with Jamie, the man she cannot forget.

Scottish Highlander Jamie Fraser, made aware by his time-traveling wife Claire of the outcome of the impending American Revolution, and living under the shadow of a newspaper clipping from the future that reports the deaths of him and his family, faces a dilemma when the colonial governor of North Carolina asks him to secure the region for King and Crown.

It's 1778 and France has declared war on Great Britain. The British are in Philadelphia and George Washington's troops leave Valley Forge in pursuit. At this moment, Jamie Fraser returns from a presumed grave to discover that his best friend has married Claire. All is in disarray as an illegitimate son discovers who his father is, a nephew wants to marry a Quaker, and Claire and Jenny, Jamie's sister, try to pick up the pieces. Jamie and Claire can only be grateful that their daughter, Brianna, and her family, are safe in twentieth-century Scotland. Or not. In fact, Brianna is searching for her own kidnapped son. Her husband, Roger, has gone into the past searching for his son (who has, unbeknownst to Brianna and Roger, never left the twentieth century.) Now with Roger out of the way, the kidnapper can focus on his true target: Brianna.
