“Unforgettable characters . . . richly embroidered with historical detail.”— The Cincinnati Post
What if you knew someone you loved was going to die? What if you thought you could save them? How much would you risk to try?
Claire Randall has gone to find Jamie Fraser, the man she loved more than life, and has left half her heart behind with their daughter, Brianna. Claire gave up Jamie to save Brianna, and now Bree has sent her mother back to the mysterious Scottish warrior who was willing to give his life to save them both. But a chilling discovery in the pages of history suggests that Jamie and Claire’s story doesn’t have a happy ending.
Brianna dares a terrifying leap into the unknown in search of her mother and the father she has never met, risking her own future to try to change history . . . and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past . . . or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong.
An Echo in the Bone (Outlander, #7)
Diana Gabaldon
The seventh volume in bestselling author Diana Gabaldon’s epic Outlander saga is a masterpiece of historical fiction featuring Jamie and Claire, from one of the genre’s most popular and beloved authors.
Jamie Fraser, erstwhile Jacobite and reluctant rebel, knows three things about the American rebellion: the Americans will win, unlikely as that seems in 1778; being on the winning side is no guarantee of survival; and he’d rather die than face his illegitimate son — a young lieutenant in the British Army — across the barrel of a gun. Fraser’s time-travelling wife, Claire, also knows a couple of things: that the Americans will win, but that the ultimate price of victory is a mystery. What she does believe is that the price won’t include Jamie’s life or happiness — not if she has anything to say.
Claire’s grown daughter Brianna, and her husband, Roger, watch the unfolding of Brianna’s parents’ history — a past that may be sneaking up behind their own family.
A Breath of Snow and Ashes (Outlander, #6)
Diana Gabaldon
A Breath of Snow and Ashes continues the extraordinary story of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century wife, Claire.
The year is 1772, and on the eve of the American Revolution, the long fuse of rebellion has already been lit. Men lie dead in the streets of Boston, and in the backwoods of North Carolina, isolated cabins burn in the forest.
With chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the backcountry and safeguard the colony for King and Crown. But from his wife Jamie knows that three years hence the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the result will be independence — with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile. And there is also the matter of a tiny clipping from The Wilmington Gazette, dated 1776, which reports Jamie’s death, along with his kin. For once, he hopes, his time-traveling family may be wrong about the future.
Drums of Autumn (Outlander, #4)
Diana Gabaldon
In this breathtaking novel, rich in history and adventure, #1 New York Times bestselling author Diana Gabaldon continues the story of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser that started with the now-classic novel Outlander and continued in Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager. Once again spanning continents and centuries, Gabaldon has created a work of sheer brilliance.
What if you knew someone you loved was going to die? What if you thought you could save them? How much would you risk to try?
Claire Randall has gone to find Jamie Fraser, the man she loved more than life, and has left half her heart behind with their daughter, Brianna. Claire gave up Jamie to save Brianna, and now Bree has sent her mother back to the Scottish warrior who was willing to give his life to save them both. But a chilling discovery in the pages of history suggests that Jamie and Claire's story doesn't have a happy ending.
Brianna dares a terrifying leap into the unknown in search of her mother and the father she has never met, risking her own future to try to change history . . . and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past . . . or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong.
Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone (Outlander, #9)
Diana Gabaldon
The past may seem the safest place to be . . . but it is the most dangerous time to be alive. . . .
Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1746, and it took them twenty years to find each other again. Now the American Revolution threatens to do the same.
It is 1779 and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser’s Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible.
Yet even in the North Carolina backcountry, the effects of war are being felt. Tensions in the Colonies are great and local feelings run hot enough to boil Hell’s teakettle. Jamie knows loyalties among his tenants are split and it won’t be long until 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 still coming to terms with the discovery of his true father’s identity—and thus his own—and Lord John Grey has reconciliations to make, and dangers to meet . . . on his son’s behalf, and his own.
Meanwhile, the Revolutionary War creeps ever closer to Fraser’s Ridge. And with the family finally together, Jamie and Claire have more at stake than ever before.
The Fiery Cross (Outlander, #5)
Diana Gabaldon
The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser’s wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy—a time-traveler’s certain knowledge. Claire’s unique view of the future has brought him both danger and deliverance in the past; her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through the perilous years ahead—or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes.
The Scottish Prisoner (Lord John Grey, #3)
Diana Gabaldon
1760. Jamie Fraser is a paroled prisoner of war in the remote Lake District. Close enough to the son he cannot claim as his own, his quiet existence is interrupted first by dreams of his lost wife, then by the appearance of Tobias Quinn, an erstwhile comrade from the Rising.
Lord John Grey – aristocrat, soldier, sometime spy – is in the possession of papers which reveal ta damning case of corruption and murder against a British officer. But the documents also hint at a far more dangerous conspiracy.
Soon Lord John and Jamie are unwilling companions on the road to Ireland, a country whose castles hold dreadful secrets, and where the bones of the dead are hidden, in an epic story of treachery – and scores that can only be settled in blood.

A Fugitive Green (Outlander, #2.5)
Diana Gabaldon
Listening Length: 5 hours and 48 minutes
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Outlander series weaves a captivating story of secrets and intrigue, bringing together Lord John’s elder brother, Harold Grey, and his future wife, Minnie. This novella, originally published in Seven Stones to Stand or Fall, is now available as a standalone ebook.
Minnie Rennie and her father operate a family business dealing in rare books and letters—with a sideline in forgery, blackmail, and burglary. After traveling from Paris to London for work, with a secret mission to find the mother she never knew, Minnie’s clandestine meeting with a client pseudonymously named Mr. Bloomer is interrupted when she crosses paths by chance with Harold Grey, Earl of Melton (and the Duke of Pardloe, though he spurns the title).
An outcast from society, Hal is beset by troubles. Not only is he grieving the deaths of his wife, Esmé, and their unborn child, he’s still in shock over the revelations of her infidelity—an episode that ended with Hal killing her lover, Nathaniel Twelvetrees, in a duel. Minnie and Hal are immediately drawn to one another, but when Mr. Bloomer asks her to steal potentially incriminating letters between Esmé and Nathaniel that Hal still has in his possession, she finds herself swayed by fascination and empathy for a man she barely knows.

And in the court of the mighty MacKenzie clan, Jamie is a pawn in the power struggle between his uncles: aging chieftain Colum, who demands his nephew’s loyalty—or his life—and Dougal, war chieftain of Clan MacKenzie, who’d sooner see Jamie put to the sword than anointed Colum’s heir.And then there is Claire Randall—mysterious, beautiful, and strong-willed, who appears in Jamie’s life to stir his compassion . . . and arouse his desire. But even as Jamie’s heart draws him to Claire, Murtagh is certain she’s been sent by the Old Ones, and Captain Randall accuses her of being a spy. Claire clearly has something to hide, though Jamie can’t believe she could pose him any danger. Still, he knows she is torn between two choices—a life with him, and whatever it is that draws her thoughts so often elsewhere.

Great Britain is battling France for supremacy on three continents — and life is good for a soldier.
The year is 1757. On a clear morning in mid-June, Lord John Grey emerges from London’s Beefsteak Club, his mind in turmoil. A nobleman and a high-ranking officer in His Majesty’s Army, Grey has just witnessed something shocking. But his efforts to avoid a scandal that might destroy his family are interrupted by something still more the Crown appoints him to investigate the brutal murder of a comrade in arms, who may have been a traitor.
Obliged to pursue two inquiries at once, Major Grey finds himself ensnared in a web of treachery and betrayal that touches every stratum of English society — and threatens all he holds dear.

In Lord John and the Hellfire Club , Lord John glimpses a stranger in the doorway of a gentlemen's club—and is stirred by a desperate entreaty to meet in private. The rendezvous forestalled by a sudden murder, Lord John will wade into a maze of political treachery and a dangerous, debauched underground society. . . . In Lord John and the Succubus , English soldiers fighting in Prussia are rattled by the nocturnal visitations of a deadly woman who sucks life and soul from a man. Called to investigate the night-hag, Lord John finds a murdered soldier and a treacherous Gypsy, and comes to the stark realization that among the spirits that haunt men, none frighten more than the specters conjured by the heart. . . .

Con la ayuda de Roger, un joven historiador, Claire se lanza a una obsesiva búsqueda de las tumbas de los caídos en la batalla de Culloden, librada en 1745. El paso del tiempo no ha podido borrar los intensos recuerdos de un amor difícil de explicar. Con el transcurrir de los días, Claire irá descubriendo, ante los ojos incrédulos de su hija y de Roger, el fascinante secreto cuya clave es el cauce interior que conduce al pasado.
Con los mismos personajes de Forastera —primera parte de la saga de Claire Randall, en la que se basa la aclamada serie de televisión «Outlander»—, Diana Gabaldon continúa esta fascinante historia de amor, donde los encuentros fortuitos y el juego equívoco del tiempo se conjugan en un intrigante final.

For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire—and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Brianna și Roger, proaspăt căsătoriți și părinți ai micului Jeremy, își găsesc cu greu locul în lumea „nouă“. Roger, mai ales, e tot mai apăsat de propria legendă și are îndoieli că va reuși să se ridice, de fapt, la înălțimea așteptărilor sau că va reuși să iasă de sub umbra lui Jamie.

Acosada por los recuerdos, Claire tendrá que elegir entre la seguridad del futuro que dejó atrás y la apasionante incertidumbre del pasado que ahora habita. En esta primera parte de la saga de Claire Randall –que continúa con Atrapada en el tiempo, Viajera y Tambores de otoño–, Diana Gabaldon ha escrito una historia de amor diferente, en la que los encuentros fortuitos y el juego equívoco del tiempo se conjugan en un intrigante final.

Tobele toamnei (Outlander, #4, part. 2)
Diana Gabaldon
După o lungă despărțire, Claire și Jamie s-au reîntâlnit. Dar fiica lor, Briana, rămasă singura in prezent, porneste intr-o cautare periculoasa a mamei si a tatalui pe care nu l-a cunoscut niciodata. Apoi e nevoita sa riste totul ca sa schimbe istoria si sa le salveze viata. Prietenul ei si istoricul Roger Wakefield face si el tot posibilul sa o gaseasca si sa o ajute.
„Gabaldon isi continua seria de calatorii in timp avandu-i ca protagonisti pe Claire si Jamie. Unele parti din carte au loc in prezent, dar cea mai mare parte din actiune se petrece in Charleston, Carolina de Sud, in 1760. Scotienii exilati de la Culloden sunt primii care simt revolutia apropiindu-se. Gabaldon scrie extrem de bine, documentat istoric si creeaza o galerie de personaje tipice perioadei, intr-o dinamica ce tine cititorii interesati.”
Booklist
„Personaje imposibil de uitat, intr-o tesatura bogata de detalii istorice, o carte pe care pur si simplu nu o poti lasa din mana.”

Diana Gabaldon
Totul a început în Scoţia, în mijlocul unui cerc de piatră. Claire Randall a călătorit în timp şi a ajuns în braţele lui Jamie Fraser, cu care a trăit o poveste tragică, terminată odată cu întoarcerea ei în prezent, purtând în pântece copilul lui.
După două decenii de frământare, eroina se întoarce iar în timp şi se reîntâlneşte cu Jamie, de data aceasta pe continentul american. Dar preţul pe care-l plăteşte este ca o lasă în urmă pe fiica lor, Brianna, care face, la rândul ei, o descoperire tulburătoare, trezindu-se într-o epocă şi într-un ţinut necunoscute. În căutarea mamei şi a tatălui pe care nu l-a cunoscut niciodată, Brianna îşi riscă viitorul, încercând să schimbe istoria ca să le salveze lor vieţile. Totuşi, o întâlnire neaşteptată o poate face să rămână în trecut pentru totdeauna…
„Stilul Dianei Gabaldon este impresionant, fie că evocă sălbăticia Americii coloniale, zarva familiară dintr-o casă parohială scoţiană din prezent, poftele trupeşti sau dorurile sufleteşti. Legiunile ei de fani adoră să se arunce în acest ocean de romantism.“ - Publishers Weekly

La cruz ardiente (Outlander, #5)
Diana Gabaldon

Nacida en 1918 en Inglaterra, Claire Randall sirvió como enfermera en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Terminado el conflicto, un viaje en el tiempo la traslada a las Tierras Altas escocesas de 1743, donde se convierte en esposa de Jamie Fraser, y más tarde en madre y cirujana, aunque continúa sintiéndose extranjera, fuera de su lugar y de su tiempo. Arrolladora e inolvidable, la última novela de Diana Gabaldon es un vibrante drama humano dibujado sobre el tapiz de la Historia.

"I Give You My Body . . .": How I Write Sex Scenes
Diana Gabaldon
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For writers looking to make sure their next physical interlude on the page inspires readers to share the moment rather than to laugh at it, bestselling author Diana Gabaldon divulges the writing secrets behind the sex scenes in her wildly popular Outlander novels. “Ask me to your bed,” he said. “I shall come to ye.” In this revealing compendium, acclaimed writer Diana Gabaldon shares her invaluable lessons for creating an immersive reading experience, from evoking a mood to using the power of emotions to communicate physical intimacy. You’ll learn the difference between gratuitous sex and genuine encounters that move the story forward, and how to handle less-than-savory acts that nevertheless serve a narrative purpose. Gabaldon also notes that sex can be conveyed instead of described. With such tips as “The Rule of Three” for involving the senses, handy lists of naughty euphemisms (with instructions for use), and Gabaldon’s own examples from the Outlander novels, “I Give You My Body . . .” is a master class in writing to draw readers in and keep them riveted to the page.
