Author: Diana Gabaldon

Brianna has returned to Scotland to do more research on Jamie’s life and also because she has developed a love interest in Roger Wakefield. Brianna decides to go through the stones when she finds a newspaper clipping showing that Jamie and Claire perished in a house fire; she wants to warn them in the hopes that they can change history. Roger guesses at Brianna’s plan and goes through the stones himself about a month later.

Jamie, Brianna, Claire and Ian all eventually meet up at Fraser’s Ridge but Roger has a much harder time. When he finally does get the Ridge he is mistaken for the assailant who has left Brianna pregnant. Rather than murdering him, Jamie sends him off as a slave to one of the native tribes. As part of the bargain to free Roger, Ian must stay behind with the Iroquois.
