A week later he was a thrall, betrayed and sold into slavery in the far reaches of God-forsaken Northumbria. For Ivon it would have been better to have died alongside his murdered companions. Yet after four futile attempts at escape Ivon begins to accept his fate and to love the despised Saxon woman who nurses him through fever and despair.
