Winterfair Gifts (Vorkosigan Saga, #13.1)
Lois McMaster Bujold
This Hugo-nominated novella adds a delightful extra chapter to Bujold's Vorkosigan series, describing the wedding of Miles and Ekaterin and events leading up to it. In the festive season of Winterfair on the planet Barrayar, Lord Miles Vorkosigan is making elaborate preparations for his wedding. The long-awaited event stirs up romance and intrigue among his eccentric family and friends, particularly for bioengineered space mercenary Sergeant Taura and shy, diffident Armsman Roic. But Miles also has an enemy who is plotting to turn the romantic ceremony into a festival of death. Winterfair Gifts offers another of Bujold's witty, character-centered science fiction plots with a twist of romance.

0This lovely little novella tells the story of Miles Vorgosigan and Ekaterina Vorsoisson’s wedding. If neither of those names mean anything to you, stop now and go back to ‘Shards of Honor,’ the first novel in Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan Saga.
If those names do carry weight, you’re in for a treat. This is low-stakes, high-joy tale. Characters whom you know and love get happy endings, and offscreen villains get their comeuppance. What more could you ask for?
