Dragonfly in Amber is the second book in the Outlander series of novels by Diana Gabaldon. Centered on time travelling 20th century nurse Claire Randall and her 18th century Scottish Highlander warrior husband Jamie Fraser, the books contain elements of historical fiction, romance, adventure and fantasy.[1] This installment chronicles Claire and Jamie's efforts to prevent the Jacobite rising that Claire knows will end disastrously for the Scots.

A television adaptation of the series, called Outlander, premiered on Starz in August 2014.[2] The show's second season—which aired May through July 2016—was based on the events of Dragonfly in Amber.[3][4]
