Here is the first of a captivating new trilogy featuring Lord John Grey, one of the most fascinating and engaging characters to emerge from Diana Gabaldon's bestselling Outlander saga. Returned from Scottish exile in 1757, Lord John pursues a traitor--a business complicated by a family affair of the utmost delicacy, and by his own memories of the Jacobite Rising ... and of James Fraser. But Grey is a soldier; honor and duty are his companions on an adventure that leads him through the brothels and the molly-walks of London, and onto the seas ruled by the powerful East India Company--a company that guards its secrets well. With her unerring eye for detail, her masterful command of language, and her unequaled skills as a storyteller, Diana Gabaldon once again brings history vividly to life.
