Outlander: Randall Calls Him Harmless

On Beltane dawn Walter presses his forearm to the tallest stone and counts seven gemstones down to five. He woke in 1743, a dead man’s letter in his coat and a woman’s voice in his skull. The voice is Margaret Davenant, a Cambridge anthropologist dead a century, and the gift she left is the Beltane Charter: he reads any patient in modern diagnosis and Highland cure at once, and wears a Veil that passes a man from 2023 as a period Sassenach. But the Charter bills in memory. Every hour behind the Veil, every passage through the stones, eats one piece of home, taking what’s most resonant, not what he’d choose. His sister Emma’s face is going first. The village thinks him a harmless herbalist; the church at Cranesmuir has no idea what he is. But the autumn trial is set, and in the history he remembers, its fire has Geillis Duncan’s name. It is coming for her. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Outlander: Randall Calls Him Harmless — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
