Written in the blood of one's own heart

The shocking continuation of the historical saga Outlander |

It is June 1778, and the world seems to be turning upside down. The British army is withdrawing from Philadelphia, pursued by George Washington. For the first time, it looks as though the rebels might actually win.

But for Claire Fraser and her family, there are even more tumultuous revolutions to overcome. Her former husband, Jamie, has come back from the dead and wants to know why she married his best friend, Lord John Grey, in his absence. Lord John's son, the ninth Earl of Ellesmere, is no less shocked to discover that his real father is in fact the newly resurrected Jamie Fraser. Jamie's nephew, Ian Murray, learns that his newly found cousin has his eye on the woman Ian is supposed to marry.

And while Claire worries that one of her husbands might be about to murder the other, her descendants in the 20th century face even more terrible changes. Her daughter, Brianna, is trying to protect her son from a vicious criminal with murderous intentions, just as her husband, Roger, has disappeared into the past.
