It is 1779 and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser's Ridge. Now the American Revolution threatens to do the same. Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising of 1745, and it took them twenty years to find each other again.

In September 1778, Lord John Grey and his niece Dottie search for Amaranthus and her son Trevor in Savannah, having heard rumors that Amaranthus is the widow of Benjamin Grey, Dottie's brother.
