The year is 1771. Claire Randall is still an outlander, out of place and out of time. But now she is linked by love to her only anchor—Jamie Fraser.

| Epigraph |
Information from the Dutch Common Knowledge. Edit to localize it to your language. Ik heb oorlog meegemaakt, en veel verloren. Ik weet wat het waard is om voor te vechten, en wat niet.
Eer en moed zijn essentiële zaken, en voor datgene waarvoor een man bereid is te doden, zal hij soms ook willen sterven.
En dat, o verwanten, is waarom een vrouw brede heupen heeft: dat benige bekken is zowel het toevluchtsoord van een man als zijn kind. Het leven van een man ontspringt aan het lichaam van zijn vrouw, en in haar bloed vindt zijn eer zijn oorsprong.
Voor de liefde alleen, zal ik mij wederom door het vuur begeven.  | |

I woke to the patter of rain on canvas, with the feel of my first husband's kiss on my lips. | |
