In September, Roger and Brianna find a box that has been deposited for their son Jemmy. It contains letters from Jamie and Claire, allowing their children to keep taking part in their lives in the past.
A vagabond who has been scaring the kids, turns out to be a visitor from the past: William Buccleigh MacKenzie, Geillis Duncan’s son and Roger’s grandfather five times removed, has traveled haplessly to the future.
It’s someone else who really threatens the family, though: Rob Cameron, a Jacobite fanatic, kidnaps Jemmy in order to get to the treasure he’s been reading about in Claire and Jamie’s letters. Assuming that Rob has taken Jemmy to the past, Roger and Buck hasten back through the stones on Craigh na Dun on All Hallows‘ Eve.
After Jemmy’s rescue and a dramatic showdown with Rob Cameron and his cronies, Brianna and the kids flee to the U.S. and to Claire’s best friend Joe Abernathy. Soon, though, Brianna decides that the safest place for the kids is the past. On the winter solstice she follows Roger into the eighteenth century.
