Framed by these dilemmas, the bulk of the story consists of the second installment of Claire and Jamie's adventures. She's also looking for a way to tell Brianna who her real father is. Now, Frank is dead, and Claire hopes to learn what happened to the second great love of her life-gallant Jamie Fraser, laird of Lallybroch whom she married during her journey into the past. This is Claire's first visit back since she and husband Frank visited 22 years before-when she walked through a Druid stone circle into the middle of the 18th century. It's now 1968, and Claire Beauchamp Randall has returned to Inverness, Scotland, with her daughter, Brianna.

An engaging time-travel romance, the second of a trilogy (after Outlander, 1991), that animates the people and politics of a pivotal period in history-while turning up the heat between an appealing modern heroine and a magnetic romantic hero.
