A Breath of Fire and Ashes - first US edition

by Diana Gabaldon - signed

The sixth book of the popular Outlander series. Gabaldon shines as she unfolds the continuing story of the Frasers, heartbreakingly heroic highlander Jamie and his time-traveling wife Clare. Set during the three years leading up to the American Revolution, this compulsively readable mix of authentically set historical fiction and completely satisfying romance maps both violent loss and strong family ties. On the eve of war much is changing on Fraser's Ridge and Jamie and Claire encounter much harm. This vivid and haunting novel, therefore, brings an aching sadness, but it is balanced with sheer joy, revelation, and solace. The large scope of the novel allows Gabaldon to do what she does best, paint in exquisite detail the lives of her characters.

Book has light gray boards quarter-bound with black cloth, title in red on the spine. Signed by the author on the title page. Dust jacket is price-intact at $28.00 with a reflective foil front that is difficult to scan.
