Skóciában kezdődött, egy ősi kőkörnél. Ott, ahol a kiválasztottak számára megnyílik egy átjáró a múltba - vagy a halálba. Claire Randall túlélte ezt az elképesztő utazást, méghozzá nem is egyszer, hanem kétszer. Első útja végén Jamie Fraser, a 18. századi skót harcos ölelő karjai között kötött ki, akinek iránta érzett szerelme legendássá vált - egy tragikus szenvedély meséjévé, melynek végén Claire visszatért a jelenbe, hogy világra hozza a férfi gyermekét. A nő két évtized elteltével másodjára is útra kelt, ezúttal Amerikába, ahol a határvidéken újra találkozott Jamie-vel. Valakit azonban hátrahagyott a huszadik században: a lányukat, Briannát... Brianna felkavaró felfedezést tesz, ami a kőkörhöz vezeti őt, ahol a lány a félelmetes ismeretlenbe veti magát. Miközben anyja és sosem látott apja után kutat, kockára teszi saját jövőjét, hogy megváltoztassa a történelmet... És hogy megmentse szülei életét. De ahogy Brianna beleveti magát az érintetlen vadonba, egy szívszorító találkozás folytán talán örökre a múltban ragad... Vagy ott, ahol lennie kell, ahová a szíve és lelke kötődik... "Az Öszi dobszó DIANA GABALDON LEGJOBBAN SIKERÜLT ÉS LEGVARÁZSLATOSABB MUNKÁJA".

Kétszáz évvel korábban történt szenvedélyes találkozásukkor a halálra szánt Jamie Fraser végül lovagiasan visszaküldte a gyermekével várandós Claire-t a saját idejébe, mert meggyőződése volt, hogy el fog esni az 1746-os véres cullodeni csatában. Lányuk mostanra felnőtt, és Claire megtudja, hogy Jamie túlélte a csatát. Visszavágyik hát az idő szakadékán keresztül, hogy újra megkeresse a férfit, akit soha nem tudott elfelejteni, és a sorsot, amit soha nem tudott figyelmen kívül hagyni...

THE FOURTH NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING OUTLANDER SERIES. How far will a woman travel to find a father, a lover a destiny? Across seas, across time - across the grave itself. It began in Scotland, at an ancient stone circle. Claire Randall was swept through time into the arms of James Fraser whose love for her became legend - a tale of tragic passion that ended with her return to the present to bear his child. Two decades later, Claire travelled back again to reunite with Jamie, this time in frontier America. But Claire had left someone behind in her own time - their daughter Brianna. Now Brianna has made a disturbing discovery that sends her to the stone circle and a terrifying leap into the unknown. In search of her mother and the father she has never met, she risks her own future to try to change history - and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past - or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong...

THE THIRD NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING OUTLANDER SERIES - now a major TV series! Jamie Fraser is lying on the battlefield of Culloden, where he rises wounded, to face execution or imprisonment. Either prospect pales beside the pain of loss - his wife is gone. Forever. But sometimes forever is shorter than one thinks. In 1746, Claire Fraser made a perilous journey through time, leaving her young husband to die at Culloden, in order to protect their unborn child. In 1968, Claire has just been struck through the heart, discovering that Jamie Fraser didn't die in battle. But where is Jamie now? With the help of her grown daughter, Claire sets out to find the man who was her life - and might be once again.

THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING OUTLANDER SERIES - now a major TV series! For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to the majesty of Scotland's mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones, about a love that transcends the boundaries of time, and about James Fraser, a warrior whose gallantry once drew the young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his. Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful daughter as Claire's spellbinding journey continues in the intrigue-ridden court of Charles Edward Stuart, in a race to thwart a doomed uprising, and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.

It is June 1778, and the world seems to be turning upside-down. The British Army is withdrawing from Philadelphia, with George Washington in pursuit, and for the first time, it looks as if the rebels might actually win. But for Claire Fraser and her family, there are even more tumultuous revolutions that have to be accommodated. Her former husband, Jamie, has returned from the dead, demanding to know why in his absence she married his best friend, Lord John Grey. Lord John's son, the ninth Earl of Ellesmere, is no less shocked to discover that his real father is actually the newly resurrected Jamie Fraser, and Jamie's nephew Ian Murray discovers that his new-found cousin has an eye for the woman who has just agreed to marry him. And while Claire is terrified that one of her husbands may be about to murder the other, in the 20th century her descendants face even more desperate turns of events. Her daughter Brianna is trying to protect her son from a vicious criminal with murder on his mind, while her husband Roger has disappeared into the past...

Claire Randall is leading a double life. She has a husband in one century - and a lover in another. In 1945, Claire Randall is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon in Scotland. Innocently she walks through a stone circle in the Highlands, and finds herself in a violent skirmish taking place in 1743. Suddenly she is a Sassenach, an outlander, in a country torn by war and by clan feuds. A wartime nurse, Claire can deal with the bloody wounds that face her. But it is harder to deal with the knowledge that she is in Jacobite Scotland and the carnage of Culloden is looming. Marooned amid the passion and violence, the superstition, the shifting allegiances and the fervent loyalties, Claire is in danger from Jacobites and Redcoats - and from the shock of her own desire for James Fraser, a gallant and courageous young Scots warrior. Jamie shows her a passion so fierce and a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire, and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

In her now classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon told the story of Claire Randall, an English ex-combat nurse who walks through a stone circle in the Scottish Highlands in 1946, and disappears . . . into 1743. The story unfolded from there in seven bestselling novels, and CNN has called it “a grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across [centuries].” Now the story continues in Written in My Own Heart’s Blood. 1778: France declares war on Great Britain, the British army leaves Philadelphia, and George Washington’s troops leave Valley Forge in pursuit. At this moment, Jamie Fraser returns from a presumed watery grave to discover that his best friend has married his wife, his illegitimate son has discovered (to his horror) who his father really is, and his beloved nephew, Ian, wants to marry a Quaker. Meanwhile, Jamie’s wife, Claire, and his sister, Jenny, are busy picking up the pieces. The Frasers can only be thankful that their daughter Brianna and her family are safe in twentieth-century Scotland. Or not. In fact, Brianna is searching for her own son, who was kidnapped by a man determined to learn her family’s secrets. Her husband, Roger, has ventured into the past in search of the missing boy . . . never suspecting that the object of his quest has not left the present. Now, with Roger out of the way, the kidnapper can focus on his true target: Brianna herself. Written in My Own Heart’s Blood is the brilliant next chapter in a masterpiece of the imagination unlike any other. From the Hardcover edition.

1760. Jamie Fraser is a paroled prisoner-of-war in the remote Lake District. Close enough to the son he cannot claim as his own, his quiet existence is interrupted first by dreams of his lost wife, then by the appearance of Tobias Quinn, an erstwhile comrade from the Rising. Lord John Grey - aristocrat, soldier, sometime spy - is in possession of papers which reveal a damning case of corruption and murder against a British officer. But the documents also hint at a far more dangerous conspiracy. Soon Lord John and Jamie are unwilling companions on the road to Ireland, a country whose castles hold dreadful secrets, and where the bones of the dead are hidden, in an epic story of treachery - and scores that can only be settled in blood.

A nagyszabású regényfolyam második része, amely ismét visszarepít bennünket az időben a XVIII. századi Skócia drámai és szenvedélyes eseményei közé... Claire Randall húsz éven keresztül megőrizte a titkait. De most felnőtt lányával együtt visszatér Skócia fenséges, ködfátyolba burkolózó hegyei közé. Claire itt szeretné elmondani a lányának az igazságot egy fontos dologgal kapcsolatban, amely éppen olyan megdöbbentő, mint ami mögötte van: az ősöreg kőkör rejtélye; az idő korlátain átívelő szerelem; és James Fraser, a skót harcos, akinek lovagiassága egykor ott tartotta Claire-t a férfi évszázadának veszedelmei között, a saját korába való visszatérés helyett.
