Wandering peddler Kraft Lawrence joins forces with Holo, a harvest diety in the form of a young woman with the ears and tail of a wolf, and finds that having such a companion can lead to new profits but also new enemies.
Untitled
Spice and Wolf by Isuna Haruka is a series of novels about a travelling merchant by the name of Kraft Lawrence and how by chance he is ensnared by the charms of the humanoid incarnation of a wolf god named Holo hoping to return home. However she is in no rush to get there and what follows is the tale of two travellers who for an exchange of knowledge in the world of medieval human economics and gambling, find themselves ever enchanted by each other's companionship. The more of Spice and Wolf you read the more the crushing inevitability of the end is explored. Whether that be in the mortality of Lawrence and the end of their relationship or the end of the journey to Holo's home. This series is a soul crushing tear jerker and worth the read for anyone interested in economics, historical fantasy or romance. - Lachlan (QBD)
