Historical Fiction

A Breath of Snow and Ashes

by Diana Gabaldon · Outlander series

War arrives at Fraser's Ridge, and the family scatters across a burning backcountry. Loyalties divide, violence comes home, and Claire's knowledge of the future proves dangerous in ways she did not anticipate. Gabaldon delivers her darkest installment—abduction, assault, and the cost of survival in a revolution with no clear side to choose.
