* Denzel and Dottie's story. Denzel is taken prisoner by the British during a battle and is held captive for some time. During this time, a pregnant Dottie is with him and gives birth to a baby girl who they call Minerva Joy. When illness comes into the prison, Dottie and the baby are sent away for their own safety to a nearby village. Heartbreakingly, the illness spreads through the village and both Dottie and the baby fall severely ill. Dottie survives but the baby dies. Denzel is grief-stricken and in torment, and the letter he writes to Hal about the terrible news is soaked with his tears.

* Lord John asking Percy to tell William that he loves him.
* After Percy arrives at Lord John's house and tells William what has happened to Lord John, William is desperate to run to the docks to try and stop the boat from leaving. Then Percy drinks the poisoned brandy and dies, and William and Amaranthus get caught up in trying to save his life. Shortly after Percy dies, William realises that the ship has sailed by now, and just like that the reader knows that Lord John is gone.
* Basically everything about Lord John's current situation. He is being held hostage by a madman who will have him executed for sodomy if Hal does not agree to not convince the English Parliament to leave the American colonies alone and stop fighting the Americans. The book ends with the ship Lord John is on sailing away from Savannah, possibly never to be seen again.

* In the very first chapter, we see Jamie lying on Culloden Field, believing (and wishing) himself to be dead. He is completely without hope, and even when he is found by his comrades and taken into a house nearby he wants to die, and believes that he ''will'' die because his leg wound is too serious and will cause a fatal fever. At one point tears can be seen trickling down his cheeks at the thought of Claire who he will never see again [[spoiler: (or so he thinks)]]. It gets worse when the English arrive and condemn the men to death by gunshot. Jamie is forced to watch as his fellow soldiers, most of which were his friends, are taken out and shot, one by one. Two of those soldiers were young boys still in their teens, and the moment when they walk out the door together hand-in-hand and terrified can bring tears to any reader's eyes. Another of the men, Ewan Cameron, was a close friend of Jamie's, and the parting words Jamie speaks to him are especially sad. And then there's Jamie's protests after hearing that Lord Melton wants to spare his life.

Willie’s arms went around his neck and clung tight. He could feel the small, sturdy body shake against him with the force of suppressed sobbing.
