Story
A Breath of Snow and Ashes continues the saga of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century, time-traveling wife, Claire. The year is 1772, and the rift between Britain and its American colonies has put a frightening word into the minds of all concerned: revolution. In the backwoods of North Carolina, violence has already reared its ugly head, as cabins have been burned to the ground. To preserve the colony for King George III, the governor pleads with Jamie to bring the people together and restore peace. But Jamie has the burden of knowing that war cannot be avoided.

Jamie Fraser knows from his time-traveling wife Claire that, no matter how unlikely it seems, America will win the Revolutionary War. But that truth offers little solace, since Jamie realizes he might find himself pointing a weapon directly at his own son - a young officer in the British army. And Jamie isn't the only one with a tormented soul - for Claire may know who wins the conflict, but she certainly doesn't know whether or not her beloved Jamie survives.

Editor's Pick
"Davina and her accents are addicting."
"Outlander. Just the single word conveys so many things to fans. Epic love story. Sexy accents. Time travel. Adventure. And one cannot think of Diana Gabaldon’s series without also thinking of its narrator, Davina Porter. Across hundreds and hundreds of hours of audio, she has remained consistent in her performance of Claire, Jamie, and 18th century highlanders galore. If you’re new to the series, settle in for the long haul: Davina and her accents are addicting."
