About the Author Diana Gabaldon is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the wildly popular Outlander novels-Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, The Fiery Cross, A Breath of Snow and Ashes (for which she won a Quill Award and the Corine International Book Prize), An Echo in the Bone, Written in My Own Hearts Blood, and Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone-as well as the related Lord John Grey books, Lord John and the Private Matter, Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade, Lord John and the Hand of Devils, and The Scottish Prisoner a collection of novellas, Seven Stones to Stand or Fall three works of nonfiction, I Give You My Body. Claires spellbinding journey continues through the intrigue-ridden French court and the menace of Jacobite plots, to the Highlands of Scotland, through war and death in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as shocking as the events that gave it birth: the secret of an ancient circle of standing stones, the secret of a love that transcends centuries, and the truth of a man named Jamie Fraser-a Highland warrior whose gallantry once drew the young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to the mysteries of Scotlands mist-shrouded Highlands. For twenty years, Claire Randall has kept her secrets. Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful sequel to Outlander.
