Breath Of Snow And Ashes – An Outlander Novel by 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.
