In her much-anticipated new novel, the New York Times
bestselling author of the Outlander saga brings back one
of her most compelling characters: Lord John Grey–soldier,
gentleman, and no mean hand with a blade. Here Diana
Gabaldon brilliantly weaves together the strands of Lord
John’s secret and public lives–a shattering family
mystery, a love affair with potentially disastrous
consequences, and a war that stretches from the Old World
to the New. . . .
In 1758, in the heart of the
Seven Years’ War, Britain fights by the side of Prussia in
the Rhineland. For Lord John and his titled brother Hal,
the battlefield will be a welcome respite from the
torturous mystery that burns poisonously in their family’s
history. Seventeen years earlier, Lord John’s late father,
the Duke of Pardloe, was found dead, a pistol in his hand
and accusations of his role as a Jacobite agent staining
forever a family’s honor.
Now unlaid ghosts from
the past are stirring. Lord John’s brother has
mysteriously received a page of their late father’s
missing diary. Someone is taunting the Grey family with
secrets from the grave, but Hal, with secrets of his own,
refuses to pursue the matter and orders his brother to do
likewise. Frustrated, John turns to a man who has been
both his prisoner and his confessor: the Scottish Jacobite
James Fraser. Fraser can tell many secrets–and withhold
many others. But war, a forbidden affair, and Fraser’s own
secrets will complicate Lord John’s quest. Until James
Fraser yields the missing piece of an astounding puzzle–
and Lord John, caught between his courage and his
conscience, must decide whether his family’s honor is
worth his life.
