AU: The events of Sharpe’s Revenge did not happen. Jane did not fall in love with Rossendale and run off with Sharpe’s fortune. Instead, after Toulouse Richard Sharpe returned with his beautiful wife to England and they settled down there together, to face a society life with all of its engagements and obligations, as well as its boredom, its loneliness and its disappointments. And yet Sharpe would still fight for it. He had made a promise to Jane, and his honour and pride would never allow him to give up and walk away from it all.
But despite his avowal, some things in life simply cannot be changed.

Summary
There are two types of slavery.
Finan had experienced the physical kind; forced to work to the bone, tortured with labour day after day and given no name but his new occupation.
Lyssa was a slave to marriage, to her husband, to the men in her life and she ached for freedom despite knowing that she was stronger than them all; that she could kill them with her sword.
Finding her brother, Uhtred, the Dane-Slayer, was the plan. Finding Finan the Agile was not. In her was a kindness he longed for and him a now physical freedom that she dreamed of. Finan is running from a past and Lyssa, a present.
What could they possibly find in each other that they could not create themselves?
