Separated from the retreating army Claire and Jamie and their party encounter a group of Redcoats and to allow the others to go free Claire pretends to be a hostage and is 'rescued', being taken to the Duke of Sandringham., who claims Jacobite sympathies and sends a message to Jamie to come and rescue his wife. However Claire realizes that he is not to be trusted and hopes to rely on Mary Hawkins, the duke's god-daughter, to warn Jamie.
