📦 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 Price of Winter — Katarzyna braids silk ribbons into the warhorse's mane by lamplight — ribbons from her wedding dress, woven into the mane of the horse that carried her husband through seven campaigns. The Mongol envoy has offered a price that will keep her remaining people through winter. The stable is warm. Through the walls she can hear her people at their evening tasks. She finishes the braiding and goes to give her answer.
