Plot summary

Jamie takes Claire and young Ian home to Lallybroch. Claire is enraged and threatens to leave when she discovers that Jamie has married a twice widowed Laoghaire. She also struggles to regain the trust of Jenny, who is suspicious of her return and still oblivious to the truth of Claire's origins. Laoghaire accidentally shoots Jamie during a confrontation with him and Claire. Jamie recovers thanks to the penicillin that Claire has brought, and he explains to her his reasons for marrying Laoghaire. Ned Gowan negotiates a settlement with Laoghaire, and Jamie decides to retrieve the treasure on Silky Isle to pay for it. Young Ian swims to the island in an injured Jamie's place. Jamie and Claire are horrified to see the boy forcibly taken aboard a ship and carried away after finding the treasure.
