About this ebook

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?

Ratings and reviews

I read the books physically, and found them an amazing and fantastic journey. The anime missed a great number of parts. As a whole, the novels continue about 10 times further than the anime ever did. Reccomend

after purchase, cannot add to family library. Google says this series is not eligible for family library.

I recommend this series to anyone who has watched the anime. The anime misses some parts of the book series and only goes up to book 8.
