A #1 New York Times best-selling author, Diana Gabaldon pens historical fiction that's widely celebrated for masterful plotting, authenticity, and riveting suspense. In 1759 London, Lord John Grey finds himself in hot water after a high-society electric-eel party ends in a duel. Needing to lie low, Lord John answers a friend's request for help and sets sail for the New World- unaware of the hornet's nest he's about to step into.
