✦ Synopsis

The year is 1772, and on the eve of the American Revolution, the long fuse of
rebellion has already been lit. Men lie dead in the streets of Boston, and in
the backwoods of North Carolina, isolated cabins burn in the forest.

With
chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the backcountry and
safeguard the colony for King and Crown. But from his wife Jamie knows that
three years hence the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the result
will be independence with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile. And
there is also the matter of a tiny clipping from The Wilmington Gazette,
dated 1776, which reports Jamie's death, along with his kin. For once, he hopes,
his time-traveling family may be wrong about the future.
