Having narrowly
escaped financial ruin, Lawrence turns his attention to helping Holo find her
ancient homeland in the North. But how long can a traveling merchant afford to
wander the countryside looking for a village that he suspects may have ceased
to exist long ago? When a rival merchant sets his sights on Lawrence's
beautiful companion, though, can Lawrence truly be confident that Holo will
remain by his side? Has the time come when Lawrence must ask himself whether
his relationship with the Wisewolf is business or pleasure?
You would think that
after squeaking out a victory in Ruvinheigen with the armor racket that
Lawrence would think twice about getting into a risky financial maneuver – but this
is Lawrence we're talking about, and the stakes aren't just for
financial gain but for the hand of his own traveling companion.
Yes, for the first
time, Lawrence is in serious jeopardy of losing Horo’s companionship forever.
But what is Horo to him, actually? It’s this question that dominates this
volume of Spice & Wolf and makes it a memorable one.
