About the Book
WRITTEN IN MY OWN
HEART’S BLOOD is the eighth novel in the world-famous OUTLANDER series.
In June of 1778, the world turns upside-down. The British army withdraws from Philadelphia, George Washington prepares to move from Valley Forge in pursuit, and Jamie Fraser comes back from the dead to discover that
his best friend has married Jamie’s wife. The ninth Earl of Ellesmere
discovers to his horror that he is in fact the illegitimate son of the
newly-resurrected Jamie Fraser (a rebel and a Scottish criminal!) and
Jamie’s nephew Ian Murray discovers that his new-found cousin has an eye for Ian’s Quaker betrothed.
Meanwhile, Claire Fraser deals with
an asthmatic duke, Benedict Arnold, and the fear that one of her
husbands may have murdered the other. And in the 20th century, Jamie and Claire’s daughter Brianna is thinking that things are probably easier
in the 18th century: her son has been kidnapped, her husband has
disappeared into the past, and she’s facing a vicious criminal with
nothing but a stapler in her hand. Fortunately, her daughter has a
miniature cricket bat and her mother’s pragmatism.
The best of
historical fiction with a Moebius twist, WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART’S BLOOD weaves the fibers of a family’s life through the tapestry of historical drama.
