Staerk — Ellen Margret

Elvina had lived with the lie for almost nine years. Everyone in her Saxon village believed the Viking, Tyr Staerk, had raped her in the byre. When Staerk's own brother betrays him by handing him over to the Saxons, who immediately throw him into a deep, filthy pit, Elvina admits the truth in order to save his life. How quickly they fell in love, but she knew Staerk had to leave England and return to Denmark. Only then could he exact revenge by killing his brother.
