Diana Gabaldon
From the author of Outlander, a magnificent epic that once again sweeps us back in time to the drama and passion of 18th-century Scotland. For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones, about a love that transcends the boundaries of time and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his. Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire's spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart, in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.

"I love this series but this book stands alone in my mind because honestly the research she must have done to give such detail on the politics of that time. This book focuses on the political aspect moreso than the romance of the first. Certain things always stand out and the political detailing certainly did. Beautiful series"

"Been a while since I’ve read this, but a great second to the original outlander. Nothing can compare to the first but this book was a solid second! I would recommend reading. "

"I don't like a lot of things about this series so far. How gay men in general are portrayed. How the author makes Claire think of people's weight... its unflattering characteristics to the characters. "
