The series centers around Claire Beauchamp Randall, a British World War II nurse who finds herself facing the challenge of her life when she indulges in time-travel. The first novel, Outlander, opens with Claire as she accidentally travels through time to the 18th century while on a second honeymoon through the Scottish Highlands with her husband Frank Randall. As she is no longer in 1945, Claire must overcome the intrigues and dangers presented by 1743, as war rages through Scotland, and Claire finds herself torn between two men residing in two different timelines. In order to escape the often sadistic Jack Randall, her first husbands’ ancestor who questions her origins, Claire is forced to marry Jamie Fraser, a young Scots warrior who will have her questioning her true feelings. As the vibrant world of 1743 Scotland unveils with its specific mythology, customs, traditions, beliefs, clans and clashes, Claire must decide whether she wishes to become a part of this unfamiliar, yet enchanting world or return to her first husband and the 1940s. Each of the following books covers a certain time period from the past, alongside with its customs traditions and beliefs, all in great detail and accuracy.
