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 genero que combina historia y fantasia.

Diana Gabaldon's brilliant storytelling has captivated millions of readers in her bestselling and award-winning Outlander saga. Now, in her first-ever graphic novel, Gabaldon gives readers a fresh look at the events of the original Outlander: Jamie Fraser's side of the story, gorgeously rendered by artist Hoang Nguyen. After too long an absence, Jamie Fraser is coming home to Scotland--but not without great trepidation. Though his beloved godfather, Murtagh, promised Jamie's late parents he'd watch over their brash son, making good on that vow will be no easy task. There's already a fat bounty on the young exile's head, courtesy of Captain Black Jack Randall, the sadistic British officer who's crossed paths--and swords--with Jamie in the past. And in the court of the mighty MacKenzie clan, Jamie is a pawn in the power struggle between his uncles: aging chieftain Colum, who demands his nephew's loyalty--or his life--and Dougal, war chieftain of Clan MacKenzie, who'd sooner see Jamie put to the sword than anointed Colum's heir. And then there is Claire Randall--mysterious, beautiful, and strong-willed, who appears in Jamie's life to stir his compassion . . . and arouse his desire. But even as Jamie's heart draws him to Claire, Murtagh is certain she's been sent by the Old Ones, and Captain Randall accuses her of being a spy. Claire clearly has something to hide, though Jamie can't believe she could pose him any danger. Still, he knows she is torn between two choices--a life with him, and whatever it is that draws her thoughts so often elsewhere. Step into the captivating, passionate, and suspenseful world of The Exile, and experience the storytelling magic of Diana Gabaldon as never before.

It's 1758 and Europe is in turmoil - the Seven Years War is taking hold and London is ripe with deceit. The enigmatic Lord John Grey, a nobleman and high-ranking officer in His Majesty's Army, pursues a clandestine love affair and a deadly family secret. Grey's father, the Duke of Pardloe, shot himself just days before he was to be accused of being a Jacobite traitor. Now, seventeen years on, the family name has been redeemed; but an impending marriage revives the scandal. Lord John knows that as Whitehall whispers, rumours all too often lead their victims to the wails of Newgate prison - and to the gallows.

But it is in the stony fells of the Lake District that he finds the man who may hold the key to his quest: the enigmatic Jacobite prisoner Jamie Fraser. Eighteenth-century Europe is brought startlingly to life in this compelling adventure mystery.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIn her now classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon told the story of Claire Randall, an English ex-combat nurse who walks through a stone circle in the Scottish Highlands in 1946, and disappears . . . into 1743. The story unfolded from there in seven bestselling novels, and CNN has called it a grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across [centuries]. Now the story continues in Written in My Own Hearts Blood.1778: France declares war on Great Britain, the British army leaves Philadelphia, and George Washingtons troops leave Valley Forge in pursuit. At this moment, Jamie Fraser returns from a presumed watery grave to discover that his best friend has married his wife, his illegitimate son has discovered (to his horror) who his father really is, and his beloved nephew, Ian, wants to marry a Quaker. Meanwhile, Jamies wife, Claire, and his sister, Jenny, are busy picking up the pieces.

Fin da ragazzina ero certa di voler scrivere, ma per accontentare mio padre ho fatto studi scientifici, mettendomi poi a insegnare. Arrivata a 35 anni, e madre di tre figli, ho pensato che per imparare a scrivere un romanzo la cosa migliore era provarci, ma in quale genere cimentarmi? Sono molto portata a fare ricerche, cosi mi sono orientata verso il romanzo storico: proprio mentre mi domandavo in che periodo ambientarlo, ho visto per caso alla tv una serie in cui il protagonista va avanti e indietro nel tempo per aiutare persone in difficolta. In quella puntata era nella Scozia degli Highlanders e portava un bellissimo kilt: tanto basto per decidermi. - Diana Gabaldon sulla nascita della Serie Outlander1779. Claire e Jamie sono finalmente riusciti a ritrovarsi e ora vivono con la figlia Brianna, suo marito Roger e i loro bambini a Fraser's Ridge.

Le tensioni sono sempre piu feroci; Jamie sa che tra i suoi coloni ci sono divisioni, ed e solo questione di tempo prima che la loro serenita ne venga intaccata. Anche Brianna e Roger hanno di che preoccuparsi: la loro fuga dal Ventesimo secolo potrebbe non essere stata senza conseguenze, e non sono certi di avere compiuto la scelta giusta per la loro famiglia... Non molto lontano, il giovane William Ransom sta ancora facendo i conti con la scoperta della vera identita di suo padre e, di conseguenza, anche della sua. E lo stesso Lord John Grey deve affrontare riconciliazioni e pericoli... per il figlio e per se stesso. Nel frattempo, le colonie del Sud si infiammano e la Rivoluzione si avvicina a Fraser's Ridge. E Claire non puo fare a meno di chiedersi quanto del sangue che sara versato apparterra a coloro che ama...
