Synopses

An Echo in the Bone

In 1777 North Carolina, the American rebellion is escalating and Jamie Fraser and Claire must decide which side their family will support. Claire, born in the twentieth century, has already seen the future in history books, yet the choices facing the Frasers remain complex.

As war divides families, father and son come face to face on the battlefield without realising it. An old adversary also reaches forward in time to threaten the next generation.

Written in My Own Heart's Blood

In June 1778, the British Army withdraws from Philadelphia with George Washington in pursuit, and the rebels’ prospects begin to shift. For Claire Fraser and her family, personal turmoil proves just as intense.

Jamie returns from the dead and demands answers about Claire’s marriage to his best friend, Lord John Grey, while Lord John’s son is shocked by the truth about his parentage. As tensions rise and Claire fears one husband may kill the other, her descendants in the twentieth century face desperate events, including a threat to Brianna’s son and Roger’s disappearance into the past.
