NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Diana Gabaldon, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander saga, brings back one of her most compelling characters: Lord John Grey.

Here Gabaldon weaves together the strands of Lord Johns 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.

Its been seventeen years since Lord Johns 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 familys honor.

Now unlaid ghosts from the past are stirring.

Lord Johns brother has mysteriously received a page of their late fathers missing diary--and John is convinced that someone is taunting the Grey family with secrets from the grave.

So he turns to the only man he can trust: the Scottish Jacobite James Fraser.

But war, a forbidden affair, and Frasers own secrets will complicate Lord Johns quest--until James Fraser yields the missing piece of an astounding puzzle and Lord John must decide whether his familys honor is worth his life.
