What this book is about

The seventh Outlander book follows multiple storylines across the American Revolution — Jamie and Claire in the colonies, Brianna and Roger in the future, and William Ransom discovering his parentage. Battle violence at Saratoga and other Revolutionary conflicts is significant. Very explicit sexual content continues throughout. The multi-POV structure makes this one of the more complex reads in the series.
