LA SAGA QUE HA INSPIRADO LA SERIE «OUTLANDER»
Tras siete largos años de espera, llega la novena entrega de «Outlander», la apasionante saga de Claire Randall y Jamie Fraser.
Claire Randall y Jamie Fraser fueron separados por el levantamiento jacobita de 1746 y tardaron dos décadas en volver a encontrarse. Ahora, la revolución americana amenaza con hacer lo mismo.
Estamos en 1779, y Claire y Jamie se reúnen por fin con su hija Brianna, su esposo Roger y su familia en el Cerro de Fraser, un sueño que tenían por imposible. Sin embargo, incluso en el interior de Carolina del Norte se sienten los efectos de la guerra, las tensiones en las colonias son enormes y los ánimos están muy exaltados entre la población. Jamie sabe que las lealtades están divididas y no pasará mucho tiempo hasta que la guerra llame a sus puertas. Y no demasiado lejos de allí, el joven William Ransom aún se está reconciliando con el descubrimiento de la verdadera identidad de su padre y lord John Grey tiene que afrontar su destino, en nombre de su hijo y el suyo propio. Con la familia por fin reunida, Claire y Jamie corren más riesgo que nunca.
Combinando maestría y rigor histórico, viajes en el tiempo y un romance conmovedor con protagonistas inolvidables, Diana Gabaldón nos ofrece una nueva entrega de la apasionante saga de Claire Randall y Jamie Fraser que ha inspirado la aclamada serie de televisión «Outlander».
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Diana Gabaldon returns with the “vast and sweeping” (The Washington Post) new novel in the epic Outlander series.
War leaves nobody alone. Neither the past, the present, nor the future offers true safety, and the only refuge is what you can protect: your family, your friends, your home.
Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1746, and it took them twenty years of loss and heartbreak to find each other again. Now it’s 1779, and Claire and Jamie are finally reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children, and are rebuilding their home on Fraser’s Ridge—a fortress that may shelter them against the winds of war as well as weather.
But tensions in the Colonies are great: Battles rage from New York to Georgia and, even in the mountains of the backcountry, feelings run hot enough to boil Hell’s teakettle. Jamie knows that loyalties among his tenants are split and it won’t be long before the war is on his doorstep.
Brianna and Roger have their own worry: that the dangers that provoked their escape from the twentieth century might catch up to them. Sometimes they question whether risking the perils of the 1700s—among them disease, starvation, and an impending war—was indeed the safer choice for their family.
Not so far away, young William Ransom is coming to terms with the mysteries of his identity, his future, and the family he’s never known. His erstwhile father, Lord John Grey, has reconciliations to make and dangers to meet on his son’s behalf and on his own, and far to the north, Young Ian Murray fights his own battle between past and future, and the two women he’s loved.
Meanwhile, the Revolutionary War creeps ever closer to Fraser’s Ridge. Jamie sharpens his sword, while Claire whets her surgeon’s blade: It is a time for steel.
