It is the Dark Ages, and only a slave or a coward would ever submit.
Wulfstan is a berserker. When the killing fit comes on him, he is unstoppable. It's a sign of being touched by the gods, and his peers honor him for it. He is strong and respected and must forever hide his heart's yearning to be cherished and taken care of.
Leofgar is a harper. Never trained to fight, he makes his way in the world by his wits. He is as much a man as any, and he will not let any of these brutes make a woman of him, though his lord seems likely to try by force.
When Wulfstan accidentally kills a friend, and Leofgar flees his lord's lust, they meet on the road to the pilgrim's shrine in Ely. Pursued by a witch's curse, outlaws and Leofgar's vengeful lord, they fall in love. But nothing is simple when neither of them is what the world thinks they ought to be.
