Do ‘Outlander’s Jamie & Claire End Up Together in the Books?

If you’ve stuck with Outlander over the past seven full seasons, you likely know by now that the show is based on Diana Gabaldon‘s popular book series of the same name. Fans can follow Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser’s (Sam Heughan) romance, which spans from 18th-century Scotland to 20th-century America as Claire travels through time, onscreen and on the page.

Now that Outlander‘s eighth and final season is underway, book fans have some idea of what to expect if they’re familiar with Gabaldon’s eighth and ninth Outlander installments, Written in My Own Heart’s Blood and Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone. Swooon knows that there is a fair amount of show-only fans out there — we recommend using the books to fill the void after Season 8 ends — so we’re breaking down everything we know about Claire and Jamie’s ending from the books.
