The Exile. An Outlander Graphic Novel

Více o knize

After a long absence, Jamie Fraser returns home to Scotland, but his return is fraught with great concern. Although his beloved godfather Murtagh promised Jamie's parents that he would take care of their impulsive son, fulfilling this promise will not be easy. A hefty bounty has already been placed on the young exile's head, thanks to Captain Jack Randall, a sadistic British officer with whom Jamie has crossed paths and swords in the past. At the court of the prominent MacKenzie clan, Jamie finds himself a pawn in a power struggle between his two uncles: the aging chief Colum, who demands his nephew's loyalty—or his life—and Dougal, the clan's war chief, who would rather behead Jamie than allow him to become Colum's heir. And then there is Claire Randall—a mysterious, headstrong beauty who enters Jamie's life and stirs his compassion... and his desire. Jamie's heart pulls him toward Claire, but Murtagh is convinced that the girl has been sent by the Old Ones, and Captain Randall marks her as a spy. Claire is clearly hiding something, yet Jamie cannot believe she poses any danger to him. Still, he knows she is torn between two choices—life by his side and something mysterious that often takes her thoughts elsewhere. Enter the captivating, passionate, and thrilling world of Exile and enjoy the extraordinary storytelling magic of Diana Gabaldon.
