The war in earnest. The Frasers leave the Ridge for the fighting in the north, from the fall of Ticonderoga to the field at Saratoga, and then take ship for Scotland - a voyage that ends with Jamie's obituary in a Wilmington paper. Two hundred years later Brianna and Roger are living at Lallybroch, reading their parents' letters as they arrive.

1. 1
   Fraser's Ridge

   Jamie burns his commission and comes out for the rebels, and the family leaves the mountain for a war.

2. 2
   Wilmington

   Down to the coast, and north into the fighting.

3. 3
   Fort Ticonderoga

   July 1777. Burgoyne's guns appear on the heights above the fort and the whole rebel garrison runs for its life in the dark. Claire is taken by the British in the retreat and comes face to face with William.

4. 4
   Saratoga

   The battle that turns the war and brings the French in. Jamie fights; Claire takes his finger off on a table by lantern light.

5. 5
   Philadelphia

   The city the British hold and the Greys live in, where Jamie's son and Jamie's dearest friend are both about to discover exactly whose son William is.

6. 6
   Lallybroch

   They sail for Scotland and the sea takes Jamie - or the newspaper says it does. In Wilmington an obituary runs for James Fraser and his wife, and two hundred years later, at Lallybroch, Roger and Brianna read it and see that the date is wrong.
