Family ties across two eras of upheaval

Set amid the American Revolution in 1778, the eighth Outlander novel brings Jamie Fraser back to a family whose relationships have shifted in his absence. The plot also follows Brianna in twentieth-century Scotland, where the search for her kidnapped son puts her in danger, while her husband Roger travels into the past on the same mission. These connected storylines link political conflict with questions of family, loyalty, and secrets carried across generations. The book’s historical setting and time-spanning family story make it a continuation of the Frasers’ saga on both sides of the Atlantic.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers following Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, particularly its eighth installment.
  • Readers interested in historical fiction set during the American Revolution.

Book overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The eighth book in Diana Gabaldon's acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series--season 8 coming in March 2026!

"Features all the passion and swashbuckling that fans of this historical fantasy series have come to expect."--People


1778: France declares war on Great Britain, the British army leaves Philadelphia, and George Washington's troops leave Valley Forge in pursuit. At this moment, Jamie Fraser returns from a presumed watery grave to discover that his best friend has married his wife, his illegitimate son has discovered (to his horror) who his father really is, and his beloved nephew, Ian, wants to marry a Quaker. Meanwhile, Jamie's wife, Claire Randall, and his sister, Jenny, are busy picking up the pieces.

The Frasers can only be thankful that their daughter Brianna and her family are safe in twentieth-century Scotland. Or not. In fact, Brianna is searching for her own son, who was kidnapped by a man determined to learn her family's secrets. Her husband, Roger, has ventured into the past in search of the missing boy . . . never suspecting that the object of his quest has not left the present. Now, with Roger out of the way, the kidnapper can focus on his true target: Brianna herself.
