Publisher's summary

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. Her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through perilous years ahead - or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes.

VERY long

this book has been the hardest to complete in the series. I started listening to it in May of 19 and finished it on July 31st 19. and thats listening for at least an hour a day. the story drags in places, not as much action as in others in the series but it fills in lots of sub plots.

Riveting

Just as the other books in this series, The Fiery Cross, was riveting and almost impossible to set down.

Slow to start but worth the read.

Narrator is perfect. The gathering took up to much of the story. I almost gave up. Glad I finished.

books better than tv show

although I love, love, love the show and I'm super excited for season 5, I have been thoroughly enjoying the books. I've cried, laughed, been in such suspense it couldn't go fast enough. its insights fury and passion that has left me exhausted and loved every minute.
