Dragonfly in Amber: A Novel (Outlander)

From the author of "Outlander.".. a magnificent epic that once againsweeps 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 returningwith her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. HereClaire 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 thattranscends the boundaries of time ...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warriorwhose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century tothe dangers of his ....

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

"A judicious blend of history and romance...proves that, regarding talent, Diana Gabaldon is light-years ahead of her romance-novelist colleagues."
