The Fifth Novel in the Bestselling Outlander Series - soon to be a major new TV series.
But only time will tell..
For once, Jamie Fraser hopes the time-travelers in his family are wrong about the future.
Beyond present danger, though, looms the threat of a tiny clipping from the Wilmington Gazette, dated 1776, which reports the destruction of the house on Fraser\'s Ridge and the death by fire of James Fraser and all his family.
And Jamie knows that three years hence, the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the end of it all will be independence - with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile.
One minor problem: Jamie Fraser\'s wife, Claire, is a time-traveller, as are his daughter and son-in-law.
It\'s 1772, the Royal Colony of North Carolina, and the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the backcountry and preserve the colony for King and Crown.
The long fuse of rebellion has already been lit.
