Beyond the friendship

In the tumultuous year of 1744, Amelia Fraser, the nine-year-old daughter of the famed Claire and Jamie Fraser, is forced to flee her home in Scotland with her parents and their loyal companion, Murtagh. The Frasers seek refuge in France, far from the dangers of their homeland, but their journey takes an unexpected turn when Amelia meets Fergus, a ten-year-old street urchin with quick hands and a sharper wit. A skilled pickpocket, Fergus

From the moment they meet, Amelia and Fergus share an undeniable bond. Despite the differences in their worlds - her privileged upbringing and his life on the streets - they become inseparable. As the years pass, their friendship deepens, but Amelia begins to wonder: could her feelings for Fergus ever be something more? She's afraid of the possibility, knowing that in a world filled with dangers and expectations, love may not be a luxury they can afford.

This is the story of two unlikely companions, whose friendship is tested by time, trials, and the slow-burning realization that what they share might be more than just a childhood bond. But will their feelings ever be enough to overcome the boundaries between them? Amelia hopes not, but sometimes, love finds a way when you least expect it.
