Devastated and unable to keep her promise to return to her time, Claire chooses a different path for her future, believing Jamie to be dead. In an English city just south of the Scottish border, she establishes a new life as Claire Malcolm: a doctor’s widow with a young child and a talent for healing. But the whispered suspicions of witchcraft still follow her, and the timely intervention of a dear friend will set her on an entirely different path to her destiny.
Drowning in grief and guilt, Jamie surrenders himself to the British after only two years as a fugitive. Though life in an English prison is just as bleak and grim as he’d expected, he can’t help but be intrigued by Major Lord John Grey–or rather, by the man’s mysterious wife.
