New Releases by Diana Gabaldon

Dramatisch, abenteuerlich, hochspannend: der erste Roman aus Diana Gabaldons historischer Bestseller-Reihe um die beliebteste Nebenfigur der Outlander-Saga, Lord John Grey. Der britische Offizier Lord John Grey ist eben erst aus dem schottischen Exil nach Hause zurückgekehrt, als ihn im London des Jahres 1757 neues Ungemach erwartet: Er erhält den prekären Auftrag, vertrauliche Papiere aufzuspüren, die der britischen Armee gestohlen wurden – vermutlich von einem der eigenen Soldaten! Dazu kommt, dass der Ehrenwerte Joseph Trevelyan, der Verlobte von Lord Johns Cousine, ein Doppelleben zu führen scheint. Um seine Familie vor einem Skandal zu schützen, folgt Lord John so diskret wie möglich den rätselhaften Spuren Trevelyans – und gerät dabei nicht nur in Lebensgefahr, sondern muss auch sein eigenes Verständnis von Moral, Liebe und Loyalität in Frage stellen. Zum Mitfiebern spannend entführt Diana Gabaldon in »Das Meer der Lügen« ins ebenso quirlige wie brutale London des 18. Jahrhunderts, wo der queere Lord John Grey in ein Netz aus hemmungsloser Habgier, politischer Intrige und verzweifelter Liebe gerät. »So aufregend kann's nur Diana Gabaldon.« Meins über den 9. Bestseller der Otlander-Saga, »Das Schwärmen von tausend Bienen« Die historischen Romane der Lord-John-Reihe erscheinen in folgender Reihenfolge: Das Meer der Lügen (Lord John 1) Die Hand des Teufels (drei Kurzromane) Die Sünde der Brüder (Lord John 2) Die Fackeln der Freiheit (Lord John 3)

Ottende bind i den spektakulære Outlander-serie fortsætter historien om Claire Randall og Jamie Fraser og den øvrige perlerække af farverige personer: Den engelske sygeplejerske Claire Randall er seriens dragende hovedperson. Da hun er på bryllupsrejse i det skotske højland i 1946, går hun igennem en stencirkel og forsvinder ... til 1743, hvor hun havner midt i en skotsk klan og inddrages i et forrygende kærlighedsdrama tværs gennem århundreder. Nu fortsætter historien i bind otte, SKREVET MED MIT HJERTEBLOD. Det er juni 1778, og hele verden synes anderledes. Den britiske hær trækker sig ud af Philadelphia, forfulgt af George Washington, og for første gang ser det ud til, at de amerikanske oprørere faktisk kan gå hen og vinde. Men for Claire og hendes familie er der endnu mere tumultagtige revolutioner at tage hånd om. Hendes tidligere ægtemand, Jamie, er vendt tilbage fra de døde og forlanger at få at vide, hvorfor hun har giftet sig med hans bedste ven, lord John Grey, i hans fravær. Lord Johns søn, den niende jarl af Ellesmere, bliver ikke mindre chokeret over at opdage, at hans rigtige far er den nyligt genopståede Jamie Fraser, og Jamies nevø, Ian Murray, opdager, at hans nyfundne fætter har et godt øje til kvinden, som lige har sagt ja til at gifte sig med ham. Og mens Claire er rædselsslagen for, at den ene af hendes ægtemænd måske vil myrde den anden, står hendes efterkommere i det 20. århundrede i en endnu mere desperat situation – hendes datter, Brianna, prøver at beskytte sin søn mod en ondsindet kriminel med mord i sinde, mens hendes mand, Roger, er forsvundet et sted i fortiden ...

Cuarta entrega de la apasionante saga de Claire Randall y Jamie Fraser. Una saga que ha hecho a su autora Diana Gabaldon una de las escritoras más vendidas de este original género que combina historia y fantasía. Mientras Brianna Fraser Randall está a punto de ver realizados sus deseos en compañía de su amado Roger, la vida de sus padres, Jamie Fraser y Claire Randall, continúa en pleno siglo XVIII. Tras su huida de Escocia y su llegada al Caribe -tema de Viajera, la tercera novela de la serie-, Jamie y Claire deciden embarcarse rumbo a las colonias americanas en busca de una nueva vida que los aleje de las guerras, la miseria y las rencillas seculares. En su ansia de libertad, se dirigen hacia las montañas de Carolina del Norte, el único refugio seguro para alguien que procede de las Tierras Altas escocesas. Allí, finalmente, y a pesar de los riesgos que suponen los animales salvajes, los indios y el fantasma de la hambruna, los Fraser consiguen establecer un precario sistema de vida con la esperanza de que la inminente Revolución Americana no les alcance. Pero, como el paso de la Historia es inexorable y el peligro se cierne sobre la atribulada pareja, Brianna decide viajar al pasado, no sólo para reencontrarse con la madre que ha perdido y con el padre que no conoció, sino para salvar a ambos de un futuro que sólo ella es capaz de percibir. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “Unforgettable characters . . . richly embroidered with historical detail . . . I just can’t put it down.”—The Cincinnati Post 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 mysterious Scottish warrior who was willing to give his life to save them both.

Sangen i knoglerne er syvende bind i Diana Gabaldons forrygende kærlighedsdrama om skotten Jamie Fraser og hans kone Claire Randall, som stadig er en ”Outlander”, en fremmed i tid og sted. North Carolina 1777. Jamie Fraser, tidligere jakobit og oprører af nød, ved allerede tre ting om den amerikanske opstand: Amerikanerne vinder, at kæmpe på de sejrendes side er ingen garanti for overlevelse, og hellere dø end møde sin uægte søn – en ung løjtnant i den britiske hær – for enden af et geværløb. Claire Randall ved også, hvordan det hele ender, men ikke hvad den ultimative pris vil blive. Den må under ingen omstændigheder indbefatte, at Jamie mister livet – ikke hvis hun har noget at skulle have sagt. I mellemtiden befinder Jamie og Claires datter, Brianna, og hendes mand, Roger MacKenzie, sig i relativ sikkerhed i det tyvende århundred. Her har de igen bosat sig i et historisk, skotsk hjem, hvor de gennem Claires breve og hen over en afgrund på to hundred år følger den dramatiske udvikling i forældrenes historie. Brevene afslører Claires store kærlighed til den sårede Jamie Fraser og deres flugt fra North Carolina og ud på åbent hav, hvor de udsættes for kapere og blodige søslag. Alt imens søger Brianna og Roger efter ledetråde, ikke blot til Claires, men deres egen skæbne, fordi MacKenzie-familiens fremtid i det skotske Højland på mystisk, uigenkaldelig og intim vis er forbundet med liv og død i det krigshærgede, koloniserede Amerika. Sangen i knoglerne rummer stærke portrætter af historiske karakterer fra Benedict Arnold til Benjamin Franklin og er et pragtværk af fantasi, indsigt og eventyr – en roman, der giver genlyd i sindet, længe efter at den sidste side er vendt.

Neste romance épico de história, viagens no tempo, amor e aventura, Diana Gabaldon dá seguimento à fascinante saga Outlander que conquistou e continua a surpreender milhares de fãs em todo o mundo. Por terras americanas e escocesas, a aventura do escocês ex-jacobita e rebelde relutante, Jamie Fraser, e da sua mulher, Claire Randall Fraser, atravessa agora o auge da Revolução Americana, entre corsários e batalhas navais. Para além do inverno tenebroso pelo qual estão a passar e alguns acontecimentos sombrios, Jamie e o seu sobrinho Ian são expostos a uma situação desagradável relacionada com o ouro roubado no romance anterior, Um Sopro de Neve e Cinzas. Os dois acabam por se envolver num crime e Ian é jurado de morte. No meio desta convulsão, ele terá de acompanhar o tio e Claire na viagem da Carolina do Norte para as Terras Altas, onde Jamie pretende recuperar a máquina impressora que deixou para trás. Mas será que consegue? A séculos de distância, Brianna e Roger acompanhados dos filhos, tentam readaptar-se à vida no século XX, para a qual acabam de regressar. Aqui, Brianna acompanha o dramático desenrolar da história dos pais, Claire e Jamie, pelas suas cartas que, poupadas pelo tempo, relatam que Jamie Fraser irá enfrentar inúmeros obstáculos ao partir da Carolina do Norte em viagem. Mas as revelações não se resumem apenas ao longínquo passado: o casal Brianna e Roger procura pistas não só do destino de Claire, mas também do seu próprio. O futuro nas Terras Altas da Escócia é misterioso, irrevogável e está intimamente entrelaçado com a vida e a morte na América colonial destroçada pela guerra.

Sweeping us from the battlefields of eighteenth-century Scotland to the West Indies, Diana Gabaldon weaves magic once again in an exhilarating and utterly unforgettable novel. He was dead. However, his nose throbbed painfully, which he thought odd in the circumstances. Jamie Fraser is, alas, not dead—but he is in hell. Waking among the fallen on Culloden Field, he is concerned neither for his men nor his wounds but for his wife and their unborn child. Lord, he prayed passionately, that she may be safe. She and the child. It’s a prayer he’ll utter many times over the next twenty years, never knowing but always hoping that Claire made it through the standing stones, back to the safety of her own time. Safe she is, but believing Jamie gone forever, she’s obliged to live without a heart, her only comfort their daughter, Brianna. But now, their daughter grown, she discovers that Jamie survived, and a fateful decision lies before her: Stay with her beloved daughter, or go back to search Scotland’s dangerous past for the man who was her heart and soul, sustained only by the hope that they will still know each other if she finds him.

It began at an ancient Scottish stone circle. There, a doorway, open to a select few, leads into the past—or the grave. Dr. Claire Randall survived the extraordinary passage, not once but twice, and on her second journey she and the eighteenth-century Scot, Jamie Fraser, are brought together again in the American colonies. But Claire had left someone behind in the twentieth century. Their daughter, Brianna. Now Brianna has made a disturbing discovery that sends her to the circle of stones. In search of her mother and the father she has never met, she is risking her own future to try to change history and to save their lives.

Im sechsten Band ihrer legendären Highland-Saga "Outlander" begeistert die Welt-Bestseller-Autorin Diana Gabaldon erneut mit einer spannenden Geschichte von leidenschaftlicher Liebe und dramatischem Kampf um Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit. Claire und Jamie, Gabaldons außergewöhnliches Liebes-Paar, das auch in der TV-Verfilmung der "Outlander"-Serie Fans weltweit in seinen Bann zieht, muss in diesem sechsten Band fürchten, in den Vorwehen des amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs alles zu verlieren: ihr Haus, ihre Zukunft, ihre Liebe. Im Jahr 1772 stehen die Vorzeichen in der Neuen Welt auf Krieg: Claire macht sich große Sorgen um ihren geliebten Ehemann: Zwar hat sie, die als Zeitreisende aus dem 20. Jahrhundert Wissen über die Zukunft besitzt, Jamie davor gewarnt, dass die amerikanischen Kolonien bald um ihre Unabhängigkeit kämpfen und diesen Krieg gewinnen werden, und Jamie hat sich um politische Neutralität bemüht. Doch nun bittet ihn der Gouverneur von North Carolina, das Hinterland für die britische Krone zu einen. Wird Jamie, wie schon in seiner schottischen Heimat, erneut auf der Seite der Verlierer stehen? Und was hat es mit jenem Zeitungsartikel aus der Zukunft auf sich, der von Claires und Jamies Tod bei einer Feuersbrunst berichtet?

"From the author of the breathtaking bestsellers Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber, the extraordinary saga continues. Their passionate encounter happened long ago by whatever measurement Claire Randall took. Two decades before, she had traveled back in time and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie Fraser. Then she returned to her own century to bear his child, believing him dead in the tragic battle of Culloden. Yet his memory has never lessened its hold on her ... and her body still cries out for him in her dreams. Then Claire discovers that Jamie survived. Torn between returning to him and staying with their daughter in her own era, Claire must choose her destiny. And as time and space come full circle, she must find the courage to face the passion and pain awaiting her ... the deadly intrigues raging in a divided Scotland ... and the daring voyage into the dark unknown that can reunite--or forever doom--her timeless love."--

Del 1 av 4 av Snö och aska I skuggan av en mörk framtid Året är 1772 och det nordamerikanska frihetskriget närmar sig. Upprorets eld pyr redan, och guvernören behöver någon som kan fungera som en enande kraft; någon som kan dämpa det sjudande missnöjet bland nybyggare och indianer och upprätthålla säkerheten för kungen och fosterlandet. Alla är överens om att Jamie Fraser är rätt man för uppgiften. Men det finns ett problem. Eftersom Jamies hustru Claire är tidsresenär vet Jamie att om tre år är kolonierna självständiga och de kungatrogna antingen döda eller drivna i landsflykt. Och över alltsammans svävar ytterligare ett hot i form av en notis klippt ur ett nummer av Wilmington Gazette från 1776. Enligt denna har byggnaderna på Frasers Ridge förstörts vid en eldsvåda och de boende omkommit i lågorna. För en gångs skull hoppas Jamie att tidsresenärerna i hans familj ska ha fel, något som bara framtiden kan utvisa ...

THE FIRST NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING OUTLANDER SERIES. As seen on Amazon Prime TV. Previously published as Cross Stitch. Claire Randall is leading a double life. She has a husband in one century - and a lover in another. In 1946, Claire Randall is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon in Scotland. Innocently she walks through a stone circle in the Highlands, and finds herself in a violent skirmish taking place in 1743. Suddenly she is a Sassenach, an outlander, in a country torn by war and by clan feuds. A wartime nurse, Claire can deal with the bloody wounds that face her. But it is harder to deal with the knowledge that she is in Jacobite Scotland and the carnage of Culloden is looming. Marooned amid the passion and violence, the superstition, the shifting allegiances and the fervent loyalties, Claire is in danger from Jacobites and Redcoats - and from the shock of her own desire for James Fraser, a gallant and courageous young Scots warrior. Jamie shows her a passion so fierce and a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire, and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

En förödande sanning England 1758. Inför ett stundande bröllop ansätts officeren lord John Grey och hans äldre bror Hal med hemligheter från graven: en utriven sida ur en gammal dagbok. Handstilen tillhör deras far, hertigen av Pardloe, som sköt sig sjutton år tidigare – några dagar innan han skulle ha ställts inför rätta, anklagad för förräderi och beblandning med jakobiter. Lord John bestämmer sig för att ta reda på vem som ligger bakom det mystiska meddelandet och vänder sig, trots sin brors befallning om att inte ägna saken någon uppmärksamhet, till den skotske jakobiten Jamie Fraser.
