Part of Outlander, book 7.5
First published 2014
Joan MacKimmie travels toward Paris with a terrible burden. Voices whisper to her of future events, and visions reveal who will soon die. She hopes the walls of a convent will silence these unwanted gifts. Her escort Michael Murray grieves his dead wife, yet he finds himself drawn to the young woman in his care. Joan seeks God not from faith but from desperation. She wants nothing more than peace from the supernatural torment that follows her. But the time-traveling Comte St. Germain discovers Joan has arrived in Paris. He knows of her connection to Claire Fraser, the woman called La Dame Blanche. Murray must now protect Joan from forces that threaten more than her life. The battle ahead will determine whether he can save the soul of the woman who has captured his heart without even trying.
