However, his nose throbbed painfully, which he thought odd in the circumstances. Jamie Fraser is, alas, not dead-but he is in hell. Waking among the fallen on Culloden Field, he is concerned neither for his men nor his wounds but for his wife and their unborn child. Lord, he prayed passionately, that she may be safe.

But now, their daughter grown, she discovers that Jamie survived, and a fateful decision lies before her: Stay with her beloved daughter, or go back to search Scotland's dangerous past for the man who was her heart and soul, sustained only by the hope that they will still know each other if she finds him.

Da hun er på bryllupsrejse i det skotske højland i 1946, går hun igennem en stencirkel og forsvinder … til 1743, hvor hun havner midt i en skotsk klan og inddrages i et forrygende kærlighedsdrama tværs gennem århundreder.
