Synopsis

A young traveling merchant, Kraft Lawrence has become accustomed to days of roaming and trading, with few companions. Or so it was until one peculiar day where the trader finds a young, naked, wolf-like girl asleep in his wagon.

The beautiful girl, calling herself Holo, claims to be a local wolf deity worshipped by locals as the God of Good Harvest. Year after year, she ensured they would reap a good harvest, but she has since grown tired of fulfilling the wishes of the ungrateful locals.

Holo ends up striking a deal with Lawrence: if he helps her escape the villagers, she will gladly help him in his merchant endeavors. Together, they roam from town to town in search of business, and Lawrence realizes both the ups and downs of traveling with a haughty and shrewd wolf goddess.

Preliminary (215/? eps)
es una obra magnifica, su mundo es muy nutrido en lore y muy diferente al mundo de fantasia generico, recomiendo leer esta obra maestra, holo es el mejor personaje femenino que haya visto y esta tan bien escrito que da hasta pena compararla con otras con lo bien hecha que esta.

su mundo tiene un lore increible basado en deidades paganas y de como la religion ortodoxa de toda a vida intenta ocultarla, las casas comerciales son el segundo renglon con mas poder despues de la iglesia y nos cuenta como esas deidades paganas se oculltan y viven entre los humanos.

I've gotta say, this book is really good. This book is super well written, the characters feel really real and it takes you on a fun adventure.

Each chapter of this book is 50-100 pages long with some chapters being around 150 pages long so I wouldn't recommend this if you just want a quick story to read. However, this book is a masterpiece.

Story (10/10) - I mean, I'm halfway through the series after reading it in my spare time for about 4 months. I have yet ...
