The Fiery Cross

(Outlander 5)




THE FIFTH NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING OUTLANDER SERIES.

___________________________________
THE FIFTH NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING OUTLANDER SERIES

Now a major TV series

1771: the Colony of North Carolina stands in an uneasy balance, with the rich, colonial aristocracy on one side and the struggling pioneers of the backcountry on the other.

Between them stands Jamie Fraser, a man of honour, a man of worth. Exiled from his beloved Scotland, he is at last possessed of the land he has longed for. By his side his extraordinary wife, Claire, a woman out of time and out of place, blessed with the uneasy gift of the knowledge of what is to come.

In the past, that knowledge has brought both danger and deliverance to Jamie and Claire. Now it could be a flickering torch that will light their way through the perilous years ahead - or might ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes.
___________________________________
The Fiery Cross is by turns poignant, page-turning, meticulous in its historical detail and searingly passionate.

The Outlander series begins with Outlander.

Praise for The Fiery Cross

I challenge anyone to read just a few pages of this monumental book and not, within moments, disappear alongside Claire through the stones, to another time and place. I found myself 10 years ago, embarking on my Outlander TV journey. I was literally sucked into Diana’s dramatic story (the line between reality and fiction as fragile as the pages of this book, held between Jamie’s tapping finger and thumb). Only now, over a decade later, 8 seasons and 101 episodes of extraordinary Television, do I find myself with some sadness, looking back on this epic journey, yearning to do it all again. The joy of this book though, is that one can, simply by reading again…

Sam Heughan

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series has brought a touch of Caledonian magic to millions around the globe - and also brought so many fans to Scotland to explore the spectacular country that is my home. We readers, viewers and Scots are grateful to her for sharing her love of Scottish history and culture. Outlander remains a treasure to be enjoyed and shared.
