📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Amber Road — Mindaugas Balys has been traveling the amber road in Lithuania for twenty-two years when he finds it closed in 1410. A new lord has taken the lands and is claiming the road tax the previous family always waived for amber traders. The man from Riga at the inn has been stopped for two weeks. Twenty-two years of dealing with what he found on this road has prepared Mindaugas for most things. The story is about whether it has prepared him for this one.
