Outlander Books in Order

by Diana Gabaldon

When World War II combat nurse Claire Randall touches an ancient stone circle in 1945 Scotland, she's transported to 1743 where she meets Jamie Fraser, a Highland warrior who becomes both her protector and the love of her life across centuries. What begins as a desperate attempt to survive in the dangerous world of clan politics and Jacobite conspiracies evolves into an epic multigenerational saga spanning continents and decades, from the doomed Battle of Culloden to the American Revolution, from Scottish castles to colonial homesteads.

As Claire struggles with the knowledge of history she cannot change and loyalty to two different times, she and Jamie build a family whose members inherit both the blessing and curse of traveling through time. Blending historical fiction with romance, adventure with medical drama, and political intrigue with supernatural elements, the series follows the Fraser clan through war and peace, separation and reunion, as they navigate the question of whether love can truly conquer time itself while leaving their mark on history in ways both large and small.
