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 Debt on the Mountain — Tomáš Kováč has been burning charcoal in the upper Carpathian forest for eleven years and knows every clearing and ridge — which is why, when the birds go quiet in the wrong way in July 1683, he understands before anything comes down the ridge that something is coming. What he does next, and what he is owed and owes, is a question the mountain does not answer for him.
