Publisher's Synopsis
Cuarta entrega de la apasionante saga de Claire Randall y Jamie Fraser.
Una saga que ha hecho a su autora Diana Gabaldon una de las escritoras más vendidas de este original género que combina historia y fantasìa.
Mientras Brianna Fraser Randall está a punto de ver realizados sus deseos en compañìa de su amado Roger, la vida de sus padres, Jamie Fraser y Claire Randall, continúa en pleno siglo XVIII. Tras su huida de Escocia y su llegada al Caribe -tema de Viajera, la tercera novela de la serie-, Jamie y Claire deciden embarcarse rumbo a las colonias americanas en busca de una nueva vida que los aleje de las guerras, la miseria y las rencillas seculares. En su ansia de libertad, se dirigen hacia las montañas de Carolina del Norte, el único refugio seguro para alguien que procede de las Tierras Altas escocesas. Allì, finalmente, y a pesar de los riesgos que suponen los animales salvajes, los indios y el fantasma de la hambruna, los Fraser consiguen establecer un precario sistema de vida con la esperanza de que la inminente Revolución Americana no les alcance. Pero, como el paso de la Historia es inexorable y el peligro se cierne sobre la atribulada pareja, Brianna decide viajar al pasado, no sólo para reencontrarse con la madre que ha perdido y con el padre que no conoció, sino para salvar a ambos de un futuro que sólo ella es capaz de percibir.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"Unforgettable characters . . . richly embroidered with historical detail . . . I just can't put it down."-The Cincinnati Post
In this breathtaking novel, rich in history and adventure, #1 New York Times bestselling author Diana Gabaldon continues the story of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser that started with the now-classic novel Outlander and continued in Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager. Once again spanning continents and centuries, Gabaldon has created a work of sheer brilliance.
What if you knew someone you loved was going to die? What if you thought you could save them? How much would you risk to try?
Claire Randall has gone to find Jamie Fraser, the man she loved more than life, and has left half her heart behind with their daughter, Brianna. Claire gave up Jamie to save Brianna, and now Bree has sent her mother back to the mysterious Scottish warrior who was willing to give his life to save them both. But a chilling discovery in the pages of history suggests that Jamie and Claire's story doesn't have a happy ending.
Brianna dares a terrifying leap into the unknown in search of her mother and the father she has never met, risking her own future to try to change history . . . and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past . . . or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong.
"Remarkable-a mix of history, fantasy, romance, and unabashedly ribald storytelling."-The Arizona Republic
