Brianna and Roger are living at Lallybroch in the year 1980, having returned to their own time to have Mandy's heart fixed. They have a chest of letters Claire and Jamie wrote and left at a bank for them. Back in 1778, Claire and Jamie return to Scotland with Young Ian in time to say goodbye to the elder Ian, who dies (I cried. I liked him). Claire has to return to America to help Henri-Christian, Fergus and Marsali's youngest son, who needs a critical operation. Jamie stays behind and travels back to America with Jenny, who no longer wants to stay at Lallybroch now that Ian is dead. The boat they were originally scheduled to travel on sinks, and Lord John Grey delivers the bad news to Claire that Jamie is dead and the British army is about to arrest her for being a spy. He insists she marry him right away so he can protect her, and she does. As you can imagine, when Jamie does show up, he's none too pleased about the situation (no one is, honestly), and things only get worse when William discovers he's Jamie's bastard son. Oh, and Ian wants to marry a Quaker girl. It was really, really fun.
