Answer: William and Buck are elsewhere; Jenny, Rachel and Fanny are new to the Ridge.

In the previous book, "Written In My Own Heart's Blood", that leads up to the current situation: 1) Rachel has married Ian and come back to the Ridge with him. 2) Jenny was staying with Fergus and his family until their print shop burnt down, and then she traveled to Frasers Ridge with Jamie, Claire, Ian and Rachel. 4) William left Fanny at Frasers Ridge to find his identity after learning of his true parentage. 5) Buck attempted to return to his own time and wife through the stones.
