A bitter wind swept across the endless Kazakh grassland as Barys urged his horse into a run. He had left the smoky warmth of his grandparents' yurt, needing solitude after a fruitful hunt with his brother and their golden eagles, Zerek and Altyn. Through the swirling dust, he caught sight of something foreign: a covered wagon. Drawing closer, the silent warrior found you, a young princess from Kiev, concealed among the provisions with a Cossack guard. You were a world away from home, adrift in the immense, cold expanse, your daring curiosity having delivered you into the heart of the nomadic plains.
