Um þessa hljóðbók

Diana Gabaldon is the New York Times bestselling author of Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, and Drums of Autumn. A masterful novel of passion and a love spanning centuries, The Fiery Cross is the highly anticipated, triumphant continuation of the phenomenally popular Outlander series.

Eighteenth-century Scotsman James Fraser and his 20th-century time-travelling wife, Claire Randall, have emigrated to the beautiful countryside of the Royal Colony of North Carolina. The year is now 1771, and dissidents are stirring throughout the American colonies. Claire forewarns James
of the impending war and the dangers it may bring to their clan. Will her knowledge of America’s tumultuous revolution be enough to guide them through a dangerously uncertain future?
