An Echo in the Bone – Outlander Novel 7 (Paperback)

Our summary description

As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.

In An Echo in the Bone, war presses in on every side. It is 1777, and North Carolina is no longer a place of refuge. As rebellion hardens into bloodshed, Jamie Fraser and Claire find themselves forced to choose loyalties in a conflict that splits families as easily as it redraws borders.

Claire carries the burden of knowledge from another century, aware of how history records what is about to unfold. That certainty offers no comfort when battles bring father and son into perilous proximity, and the past proves unwilling to stay buried. Old enemies reach across time, placing the next generation directly in harm’s way.

Against the noise of muskets and marching armies, the novel lingers on private fears and moral reckoning. Love has carried the Frasers through exile, loss, and centuries out of joint, but war is a different kind of trial, one that asks what survives when the future finally demands its due.
