Tras su huida de Escocia y su llegada al Caribe -tema de Viajera, la tercera novela de la serie-, Jamie y Claire deciden embarcarse rumbo a las colonias americanas en busca de una nueva vida que los aleje de las guerras, la miseria y las rencillas seculares. En su ansia de libertad, se dirigen hacia las montañas de Carolina del Norte, el único refugio seguro para alguien que procede de las Tierras Altas escocesas. Allí, finalmente, y a pesar de los riesgos que suponen los animales salvajes, los indios y el fantasma de la hambruna, los Fraser consiguen establecer un precario sistema de vida con la esperanza de que la inminente Revolución Americana no les alcance. Pero, como el paso de la Historia es inexorable y el peligro se cierne sobre la atribulada pareja, Brianna decide viajar al pasado, no sólo para reencontrarse con la madre que ha perdido y con el padre que no conoció, sino para salvar a ambos de un futuro que sólo ella es capaz de percibir.
