About this ebook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The fourth book in Diana Gabaldon’s acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series. 

“Unforgettable characters . . . richly embroidered with historical detail.”—The Cincinnati Post

What if you knew someone you loved was going to die? What if you thought you could save them? How much would you risk to try? 

Claire Randall has gone to find Jamie Fraser, the man she loved more than life, and has left half her heart behind with their daughter, Brianna. Claire gave up Jamie to save Brianna, and now Bree has sent her mother back to the mysterious Scottish warrior who was willing to give his life to save them both. But a chilling discovery in the pages of history suggests that Jamie and Claire’s story doesn’t have a happy ending.

Brianna dares a terrifying leap into the unknown in search of her mother and the father she has never met, risking 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.

Ratings and reviews

These books will take you on a trip as if you go through the stones with Claire. You will laugh, cry, worry and smile along with the characters. I started reading the series before the show began and wondered if it would do justice to it. There are obviously changes and I prefer the books, but still like the show (mostly for Jaime, even if he's different than the books).

You are foolish NOT to read these books. Whether the actual book, by nook, tablet, phone, etc. Do yourself a favor; just get the series and consider the money spent as an investment. Not just historically accurate, but watching a couple thrive in their marriage, such a refreshing change. Thank you Diana Gabaldon for your BEAUTIFUL creation.

Loved it! This series is getting better and better with each book, keeping me glued to the story. Can't wait to read what happens next.
