Claire clings to the chance of happiness she knows she is lucky to have, even if it means leaving behind her beloved daughter. Her profession of surgeon serves her well in this book and her decades of loneliness in the 20th century, while remembering the love she shared with Jamie, only strengthen that love when they rediscover each other and she sees how very much he has changed. These relationships will be explored in further installments of the series.Ĭlaire has been dealt a rough hand in some ways, and she has also become tougher during the twenty years of separation from Jamie. He has been forced by blackmail and loneliness into a loveless marriage with one woman and to father a son on another. Her answer is our own, and her implicit trust in him is truly justified as he tries to explain every circumstance that fate has thrown at him.

Not when he is constantly thrown from one danger to another, not even when he warns Claire that she might not want the man he has become.

Throughout the many twists, turns and revelations of incidents past, we never doubt Jamie.

Their final escape hurls them into a storm that nearly kills them all, but lands them in a new world – together. Jamie and Claire’s efforts to save his nephew, Ian take them to the West Indies where they meet Geillis Duncan, the time traveller from Outlander, who not only holds the boy hostage for her own sinister purposes, but who also threatens Brianna all the way in the twentieth century. Their reunion is passionate but not peaceful for long.
