   Summary

   When Claire crosses the boundary between memory and time, she finds herself not in the chaos of war or the wilds of the Ridge, but in the quiet pulse of Lallybroch—before grief shaped the boy she loved. Faced with the fragile beginnings of Jamie’s childhood and the fierce tenderness of Ellen Fraser, Claire must decide how much of the past she can touch without unraveling the future. As bonds form in the rhythm of daily life, and danger begins to stir at the edges, Claire’s presence becomes both a comfort and a question. What does it mean to save someone, and what is the cost of choosing to do so?
