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)

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Diana Gabaldon returns with the “vast and sweeping” (The Washington Post) newest novel in the epic Outlander series. War leaves nobody alone. Neither the past, the present, nor the future offers true safety, and the only refuge is what you can protect: your family, your friends, your home. Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1746, and it took them twenty years of loss and heartbreak to find each other again. Now it’s 1779, and Claire and Jamie are finally reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children, and are rebuilding their home on Fraser’s Ridge—a fortress that may shelter them against the winds of war as well as weather. But tensions in the Colonies are great: Battles rage from New York to Georgia and, even in the mountains of the backcountry, feelings run hot enough to boil Hell’s teakettle. Jamie knows that loyalties among his tenants are split and it won’t be long before the war is on his doorstep. Brianna and Roger have their own worry: that the dangers that provoked their escape from the twentieth century might catch up to them. Sometimes they question whether risking the perils of the 1700s—among them disease, starvation, and an impending war—was indeed the safer choice for their family. Not so far away, young William Ransom is coming to terms with the mysteries of his identity, his future, and the family he’s never known. His erstwhile father, Lord John Grey, has reconciliations to make and dangers to meet on his son’s behalf and on his own, and far to the north, Young Ian Murray fights his own battle between past and future, and the two women he’s loved. Meanwhile, the Revolutionary War creeps ever closer to Fraser’s Ridge. Jamie sharpens his sword, while Claire whets her surgeon’s blade: It is a time for steel.

En l’an 1779, Claire et Jamie savourent leurs retrouvailles avec leur fille Brianna, Roger, le mari de celle-ci, et leurs enfants, à Fraser’s Ridge. Il y a peu, ce rêve leur paraissait encore inaccessible. Mais même dans ce coin isolé de Caroline du Nord, les effets de la guerre se font sentir. La tension dans les Colonies ne cesse de croître et la colère des habitants monte chaque jour d’un cran. Jamie a conscience que ses fermiers connaissent des conflits de loyauté et que le danger est à leur porte. Lorsque les Colonies du Sud se soulèvent, la Révolution se rapproche encore davantage de Fraser’s Ridge. En sa qualité de soignante, Claire se demande combien de ceux qu’elle aime vont encore devoir verser leur sang...

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The fourth book in Diana Gabaldon’s acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series. Don’t miss the new Outlander novel, Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone, available November 23! This special twenty-fifth-anniversary edition features a never-before-seen reader’s guide. “Unforgettable characters . . . richly embroidered with historical detail.”—The Cincinnati Post 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. But a chilling discovery in the pages of history suggests that Jamie and Claire’s story doesn’t have a happy ending. Brianna dares a terrifying leap into the unknown in search of her mother and the father she has never met, risking her own future to try to change history . . . and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past . . . or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong.

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 ...

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.

This special twenty-fifth-anniversary edition features a new introduction by Diana Gabaldon, an interview with the author, and a reader’s group guide. “Triumphant . . . Her use of historical detail and a truly adult love story confirm Gabaldon as a superior writer.”—Publishers Weekly In this rich, vibrant tale, Diana Gabaldon continues the story of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser that began with the now-classic novel Outlander and continued in Dragonfly in Amber. 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.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The second book in Diana Gabaldon’s acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series. Don’t miss the new Outlander novel, Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone, available November 23! This special twenty-fifth-anniversary edition features a new introduction by the author and a reader’s group guide. “A triumph! A powerful tale layered in history and myth. I loved every page.”—Nora Roberts With her classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon introduced two unforgettable characters—Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser—delighting readers with a story of adventure and love that spanned two centuries. Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful sequel to Outlander. For twenty years, Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to the mysteries of Scotland’s mist-shrouded Highlands. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as shocking as the events that gave it birth: the secret of an ancient circle of standing stones, the secret of a love that transcends centuries, and the truth of a man named Jamie Fraser—a Highland warrior whose gallantry once drew the young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his. Claire’s spellbinding journey continues through the intrigue-ridden French court and the menace of Jacobite plots, to the Highlands of Scotland, through war and death in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.

"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."--

DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH The dazzling fifth volume of Diana Gabaldon''s extraordinary Outlander saga, featuring 18th-century Scotsman James Fraser and his 20th-century time-traveling wife, Claire Randall. The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser''s wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy--a time-traveler''s certain knowledge. Born in the year of Our Lord 1918, Claire Randall served England as a nurse on the battlefields of World War II, and in the aftermath of peace found fresh conflicts when she walked through a cleftstone on the Scottish Highlands and found herself an outlander, an English lady in a place where no lady should be, in a time--1743--when the only English in Scotland were the officers and men of King George''s army. Now wife, mother, and surgeon, Claire is still an outlander, out of place, and out of time, but now, by choice, linked by love to her only anchor--Jamie Fraser. Her unique view of the future has brought him both danger and deliverance in the past; her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through the perilous years ahead--or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes.... Grand, sweeping, utterly unforgettable, The Fiery Cross is riveting entertainment, a vibrant tapestry of history and human drama.

Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire''s spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart, in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.
