About This Quiz

I feared in my heart that history would not be rewritten, that no matter how many battles we would win, victory would remain out of reach. - Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser 

Throughout four exciting and wild seasons, Outlander Claire Fraser, along with her husband, Jamie Fraser, their family, friends, and confidants, must ​raise rebellions, survive battles, and navigate the tricky, challenging world of a time she is not from.
