In 1945, Claire Randall returns from the war to reunite with her husband in Scotland. But a walk through an ancient stone circle sends her tumbling into 1743, where she's suddenly a Sassenach - an outlander - in a land torn by clan feuds and Jacobite violence. As a skilled wartime nurse, Claire can handle the bloody wounds, but she's unprepared for the passion and desire that blossoms between her and a gallant young Scots warrior named Jamie. Torn between the life she knew and the intoxicating new world before her, Claire must choose between fidelity and a love so fierce it could unravel the fabric of time itself.
