Lawrence is a traveling merchant who finds a 600 year old pagan deity/wolf girl named Horo in his wagon one night. She begins traveling with him, and her wisdom helps increase his profits. But her true nature draws unwanted attention from the church... Based on a light novel series about the travels of a medieval merchant (Spice) who encounters and befriends a pagan harvest deity named Horo (Wolf). The story forgoes the traditional sword-&-sorcery adventure element to focus on how people lived and did business during the Middle Ages . The novel series (written by Isuna Hasekura) won the Silver Prize in the 12th Dengeki Novel Awards.
