In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....

New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon enchanted scores of fans with Outlander, her electrifying historical saga set in 18th-century Scotland. Now this sequel sweeps listeners back into the past as Claire relates more of her perilous sojourn there with her Scottish warrior husband, James Fraser. Twenty years after her strange journey back in time, Claire has returned to Scotland with her daughter, determined to share with her the secret she has harbored since her time travel.

1968. À la mort de son mari, Claire Beauchamp emmène sa fille en Écosse, sur les lieux mêmes où, vingt ans plus tôt, elle a vécu d'extraordinaires aventures... Des aventures qui, dans ce second tome, vont conduire Claire et Jamie dans le Paris du siècle des Lumières. Leur but ? Empêcher Charles-Eduard Stuart d'accéder au trône, un événement qui marquerait le début d'une répression sanglante dans les Highlands.

Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1746, and it took them 20 years to find each other again. Now the American Revolution threatens to do the same. It is 1779, and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser’s Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible.

A Breath of Snow and Ashes continues the saga of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century, time-traveling wife, Claire. The year is 1772, and the rift between Britain and its American colonies has put a frightening word into the minds of all concerned: revolution. In the backwoods of North Carolina, violence has already reared its ugly head, as cabins have been burned to the ground. To preserve the colony for King George III, the governor pleads with Jamie to bring the people together and restore peace. But Jamie has the burden of knowing that war cannot be avoided.

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. They have crossed oceans and centuries to build a life together in North Carolina. But tensions, both ancient and recent, threaten members of their clan. Knowing that his wife has the gift of prophecy, James must believe Claire, though he would prefer not to. Claire has shared a dreadful truth: there will, without a doubt, be a war.

Jamie Fraser knows from his time-traveling wife Claire that, no matter how unlikely it seems, America will win the Revolutionary War. But that truth offers little solace, since Jamie realizes he might find himself pointing a weapon directly at his own son - a young officer in the British army. And Jamie isn't the only one with a tormented soul - for Claire may know who wins the conflict, but she certainly doesn't know whether or not her beloved Jamie survives.

Twice Claire has used an ancient stone circle to travel back to the 18th century. The first time she found love with a Scottish warrior but had to return to the 1940s to save their unborn child. The second time, 20 years later, she reunited with her lost love but had to leave behind the daughter that he would never see. Now Brianna, from her 1960s vantage point, has found a disturbing obituary and will risk everything in an attempt to change history.

Winner of the Quill Award and the Corine International Book Prize, Diana Gabaldon is the #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Outlander series.

1772. Alors que la guerre de régulation semblait terminée, de nouveaux foyers de sédition ne cessent de s'allumer ici et là à travers les colonies d'Amérique. Claire et Jamie Fraser s'efforcent de protéger au mieux leurs terres et leurs gens, mais connaître l'avenir n'est pas un atout. Ils n'ont plus que quatre ans pour changer le cours de leur destin.

Hurtled back through time more than two hundred years to 1743 Scotland, Claire Randall finds herself caught in the midst of an unfamiliar world torn apart by violence, pestilence, and revolution and haunted by her growing feelings for a young soldier, James Fraser.

Vingt années se sont écoulées depuis le périple de Claire Beauchamp-Randall dans l'Écosse du XVIIe siècle. Si l'infirmière britannique a refait sa vie depuis, le souvenir de Jamie Fraser et des années tumultueuses vécues ensemble reste intact. Aussi, lorsqu'elle apprend qu'il a survécu à la sanglante bataille de Culloden ayant marqué la défaite de l'armée écossaise, elle se trouve confrontée à un terrible dilemme.

1945. Claire passe ses vacances en Écosse, où elle s'efforce d'oublier la Seconde Guerre mondiale auprès de son mari, tout juste rentré du front. Au cours d'une balade, la jeune femme est attirée par un mégalithe, auquel la population locale voue un culte étrange. Claire aura tôt fait d'en découvrir la raison : en s'approchant de la pierre, elle se volatilise pour atterrir au beau milieu d'un champ de bataille. Le menhir l'a menée tout droit en l'an de grâce 1743, au cœur de la lutte opposant Highlanders et Anglais.

Il reste moins de deux ans à Claire et Jamie Fraser avant que paraisse leur nécrologie dans une gazette locale. Moins de deux ans pour changer le cours de leur destin. Claire le sait, comme elle sait que la guerre d'Indépendance est inévitable, prélude à des luttes fratricides où les idéaux s'entrechoquent et les conflits de loyauté se résolvent dans le sang. Les tensions dans la communauté de Fraser's Ridge s'exacerbent.

Après "La croix de feu", où l'on retrouvait Claire et son mari, Jamie, en Caroline du Nord, alors que la guerre d'Indépendance américaine était sur le point d'éclater, cet ultime tome de la grande saga de Diana Gabaldon permet d'en découvrir les derniers - et nombreux - rebondissements. L'ignoble Bonnet court toujours ; le colonel Fraser s'engage dans la bataille d'Alamance, qui va se révéler décisive ; Brianna tremble pour Roger, son époux chéri.

Joan MacKimmie is on her way to Paris to take up her vocation as a nun. Yet her decision is less a matter of faith than fear, for Joan is plagued by mysterious voices that speak of the future, and by visions that mark those about to die. The sanctuary of the nunnery promises respite from these unwanted visitations...or so she prays. Her chaperone is Michael Murray, a young widower who, though he still mourns the death of his wife, finds himself powerfully drawn to his charge.

Set in the intriguing Scotland of 200 years ago, the third installment in the romantic adventures of Jamie and Claire is as compelling as the first. Now that Claire knows Jamie survived the slaughter at Culloden, she is faced with the most difficult decision of her life. She aches to travel back through time again to find the love of her life, but, in order to do that, she must leave their daughter behind.

En l'an 1779, Claire et Jamie savourent leurs retrouvailles avec leur fille Brianna, Roger, le mari de celle-ci, et leurs enfants, à Fraser's Ridge. Il y a peu, ce rêve leur paraissait encore inaccessible. Mais même dans ce coin isolé de Caroline du Nord, les effets de la guerre se font sentir. La tension dans les Colonies ne cesse de croître et la colère des habitants monte chaque jour d'un cran. Jamie a conscience que ses fermiers connaissent des conflits de loyauté et que le danger est à leur porte.
