Spice and Wolf, Vol. 1 (light novel)

Description

The life of a traveling merchant is a lonely one, a fact with which

Kraft Lawrence is well acquainted. Wandering from town to town with just

his horse, cart, and whatever wares have come his way, the peddler has

pretty well settled into his routine-that is, until the night Lawrence

finds a wolf goddess asleep in his cart. Taking the form of a fetching

girl with wolf ears and a tail, Holo has wearied of tending to harvests

in the countryside and strikes up a bargain with the merchant to lend

him the cunning of "Holo the Wisewolf" to increase his profits in

exchange for taking her along on his travels. What kind of businessman

could turn down such an offer? Lawrence soon learns, though, that having

an ancient goddess as a traveling companion can be a bit of a mixed

blessing. Will this wolf girl turn out to be too wild to tame?
