What to know about Outlander season 8
"I've been reading Frank's book. He says war is coming to the backcountry. And that James Fraser dies in it," a tearful Jamie tells Claire in the Outlander season 8 teaser. The book in question? Frank Randall's The Soul of a Rebel: The Scottish Roots of the American Revolution.
The prophecy forces them to ponder choice and fate. Claire urges Jamie not to fight, but maintains that she won't retreat either because it was destiny that brought her to this place at this moment in time. Jamie believes, just as firmly, that he has no choice in the matter – that he must fight.
The previous season was inspired by books six and seven in Gabaldon's series (available on Amazon), A Breath of Snow and Ashes and An Echo in My Bones, which ordinarily would indicate that season 8 would be adapted from books eight and nine, Written in My Own Heart's Blood and Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone.
However, the 10th and final novel in the series, A Blessing for a Warrior Going Out, is yet to be published.
