Description

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Diana Gabaldon's Voyager.

From the author of Outlander... a magnificent epic that once again sweeps us back in time to the drama and passion of 18th-century Scotland...

For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones...about a love that transcends the boundaries of time...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his ....

Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire's spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart ...in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising...and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves....

  • The Fire of a Woman, and her Story

    Through this, you begin to see the 20th century spark of a woman in the 18th century. She was called a witch and yet loved deeply by the only man who saw her for who she was. You cannot put this down. Not sappy romance. This is intrigue, battle and everything that keeps a person in times of uncertainty. I find both her and his strength, the true story of this series. This is what acceptance of another unconditionally looks like.
  • Awesome

    I was a huge fan of Outlander and couldn't wait to read this book and discover what happens next. I found this book to be incredibly slow moving but overall enjoyable. So even though I didn't enjoy it as much as the first, I still plan to continue with the series because I am definitely obsessed with Jamie Fraser and need to know how their love story continues.

    Diana Gabaldon is an excellent author. The tension in this historical fiction keeps you turning pages from start to finish. Besides being richly entertained, you are educated as well.

    This is the second book in the Outlander series. In this book you will find out what happens to Claire and Jaime while in France and the their adventures back in Scotland. Diana Gabaldon has a gift for making you feel like you are actually in these places. It takes place in the 17th Century and the details given make you see the time period in your minds eye.
  • Uncomfortable with homophobia in these books

    I read the first two books in this series and was enjoying them as a guilty pleasure. Not amazing, but an easy fun read since I generally enjoy cheesy romantic historical fiction. I had to stop shortly into the third book when we encounter the THIRD gay villain. The author is clearly homophobic and I am not on board with that. I'm a little curious how they'll handle this on the tv series since I doubt they'll be able to (or wish to) get away with anti-gay plot lines, but not interested enough to support this author any more than I have.

    How this author thinks these stories up is beyond me! It was a little slow going at times but is an amazing book that leaves you speechless and scrambling for the next book in the series. Wow! This is the kind of series you have to talk a friend into reading at the same time so you have someone to call and scream, "OMG did you read that part yet?!!" Amazing!
  • Not nearly as good as Outlander

    I wasn't impressed with the 2nd book. I thought a lot of the scenes dragged and there was too much unnecessary descriptions. It felt like more quantity than quality of writing. There wasn't as much romance as I would have liked. I was hoping to find out more about Brianna. I wish most of it wasn't written in the first person due to the sheer number of pages. It just felt like something was missing in the book and I'm not compelled to see how the series ends. This didn't feel as epic as Outlander.
