Diana Gabaldon's brilliant storytelling has
captivated millions of readers in her bestselling and
award-winning Outlander saga. Now, in her first-ever
graphic novel, Gabaldon gives readers a fresh look at
the events of the original Outlander: Jamie Fraser's
side of the story, gorgeously rendered by artist Hoang
Nguyen. After too long an absence, Jamie Fraser is
coming home to Scotland--but not without great
trepidation. Though his beloved godfather, Murtagh,
promised Jamie's late parents he'd watch over their
brash son, making good on that vow will be no easy task.
There's already a fat bounty on the young exile's head,
courtesy of Captain Black Jack Randall, the sadistic
British officer who's crossed paths--and swords--with
Jamie in the past. And in the court of the mighty
MacKenzie clan, Jamie is a pawn in the power struggle
between his uncles: aging chieftain Colum, who demands
his nephew's loyalty--or his life--and Dougal, war
chieftain of Clan MacKenzie, who'd sooner see Jamie put
to the sword than anointed Colum's heir. And then there
is Claire Randall--mysterious, beautiful, and
strong-willed, who appears in Jamie's life to stir his
compassion . . . and arouse his desire. But even as
Jamie's heart draws him to Claire, Murtagh is certain
she's been sent by the Old Ones, and Captain Randall
accuses her of being a spy. Claire clearly has something
to hide, though Jamie can't believe she could pose him
any danger. Still, he knows she is torn between two
choices--a life with him, and whatever it is that draws
her thoughts so often elsewhere. Step into the
captivating, passionate, and suspenseful world of The
Exile, and experience the storytelling magic of Diana
Gabaldon as never before. |
