A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon
Book 6 of the Outlander series does not disappoint.
The book begins in 1772 and the American Revolution is closing in on the people of Fraser's Ridge North Carolina. The key people know what is to come and they know the outcome so they know which side they will need to be on to survive. Just how to manage it is the issue.
Jamie Fraser is requested to work as the King's liason to the indians in the area. As much as Jaime doesn't want to work for the king in such a public manner, the alternative person would wreak havoc in the area. Jaime decides it's in everyone's best interest to take the job. Later, he will have a hard time convincing everyone on both sides of the conflict just where his loyalties lie.
Always looming in the distance is the knowledge of the newspaper story about the demise of Jaime and Claire in the year 1776.
I will definitely keep reading and I am thinking of reading her supporting books in the Lord John Grey series.
