Zahra lleva tanto tiempo encerrada en su lámpara que, cuando un ladronzuelo la descubre, se topa con un mundo muy distinto: ahora, la magia está prohibida y su nombre se ha convertido en una leyenda. Una aterradora por lo que le hizo a su anterior ama. Decidida a huir, Zahra acepta el trato que le propone el rey de los genios: la libertad a cambio de una terrible traición.

But all is not lost! God says he can reincarnate Touya into a world of fantasy, and as a bonus, he gets to bring his smartphone along with him! So begins Touya's adventure in a new, anachronistic pseudo-medieval world. Friends! Laughs! Tears! Inexplicable Deus ex Machina!

Diana Gabaldon's fans will be delighted to find Jamie and Claire as spirited and endearing as ever in this fourth installment of this magnificent saga. Twice Claire has used an ancient stone circle to travel back to the 18th century. The first time she found love with a Scottish warrior but had to return to the 1940s to save their unborn child. The second time she reunited with her lost love but had to leave behind the daughter that he would never see. Now Brianna, from her 1960s vantage point, has found a disturbing obituary and will risk everything in an attempt to change history.

The year is 1772, and the rift between Britain and its American colonies has put a frightening word into the minds of all concerned: revolution. In the backwoods of North Carolina, violence has already reared its ugly head, as cabins have been burned to the ground. To preserve the colony for King George III, the governor pleads with Jamie to bring the people together and restore peace. But Jamie has the privilege, although some might call it a burden, of knowing that war cannot be avoided. 

Jamie Fraser knows from his time-traveling wife, Claire, that, no matter how unlikely it seems, America will win the Revolutionary War. But fighting for the eventual winner is no guarantee of safety. And worse still, the possibility of pointing a weapon at his own son - a young officer in the British army - haunts Jamie's every thought. 

Eigentlich wollte John Grey den Mann, den er einst seinen Freund nannte, nie wiedersehen. Doch ohne die Hilfe des schottischen Rebellen und Kriegsgefangenen Jamie Fraser droht dem englischen Königshaus große Gefahr. Im Gedenken an die katastrophale Schlacht von Culloden, durch die er seine geliebte Claire verloren hat, tut Jamie sich schließlich mit John zusammen. Unfreiwillig vereint, reisen der Offizier und der Rebell nach Irland, um einen Major der britischen Armee zur Rede zu stellen.

El ex jacobita Jamie Fraser está plenamente inmerso en la Revolución americana, que defiende a capa y espada, hasta que se le presenta un conflicto interior que puede dar al traste con sus ideas, con su felicidad y hasta con su vida: en el bando del ejército inglés que debe sofocar la rebelión se encuentra su hijo ilegítimo, un joven teniente del ejército británico, y el encuentro es inminente.

In this highly anticipated new novel, Diana Gabaldon brings back one of her most compelling characters: the unforgettable Lord John Grey - soldier, gentleman, and no mean hand with a blade. Set in the heart of the 18th century, Lord John's world is one of mystery and menace. Diana Gabaldon brilliantly weaves together the strands of Lord John's secret and public lives. 

In a richly drawn 18th-century London, Scottish exile Lord John faces a difficult situation. His cousin Olivia is engaged to marry the Honorable Joseph Trevelyan, but he has just observed something of a rather personal nature that, if confirmed, might put an end to any talk of marital bliss. Determined to investigate further, Lord John is distracted when the Crown calls for his services. A comrade in arms has been slain, and to complicate matters, the victim may have been a traitor. Now Lord John has not one but two puzzling mysteries to solve. 

Here Gabaldon weaves together the strands of Lord John's secret and public lives - a shattering family mystery, a love affair with potentially disastrous consequences, and a war that stretches from the Old World to the New. It's been 17 years since Lord John's father, the duke of Pardloe, was found dead, a pistol in his hand and accusations of his role as a Jacobite agent staining forever a family's honor. Now unlaid ghosts from the past are stirring.
