Starz has announced that its highly anticipated show Outlander will premiere on August 9th. Perhaps you’ve heard of this new series, but you haven’t read the books and are unfamiliar with the premise. Here’s a brief synopsis courtesy of Starz:
The Outlander series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history, and adventure in one epic tale. It follows Clare Randall as she navigates the hidden dangers of 18th century Scotland, an unknown world where her freedom and very life are at risk. When she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire’s heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.
