About Book: 1771: the Colony of North Carolina stands in an uneasy balance, with the rich, colonial aristocracy on one side and the struggling pioneers of the backcountry on the other. Between them stands Jamie Fraser, a man of honour, a man of worth. Exiled from his beloved Scotland, he is at last possessed of the land he has longed for. By his side his extraordinary wife, Claire, a woman out of time and out of place, blessed with the uneasy gift of the knowledge of what is to come. In the past, that knowledge has brought both danger and deliverance to Jamie and Claire. Now it could be a flickering torch that will light their way through the perilous years ahead - or might ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes.

My Thoughts: Weddings, war, and everything in between. This book gave me a deeper appreciation for the slower, domestic moments in life—and then it hit me with drama when I least expected it! It was a slower burn than the previous books, but I enjoyed the richness of daily life on Fraser’s Ridge and the groundwork being laid for future conflicts.
