Spice and Wolf, Vol. 24 (light novel)

The Tonneburg woods are in danger or so says the forest ranger who approaches Holo and Lawrence with a curious request: help convince his lord not to chop down the trees that have always provided for their people.

Sadly, Lord Tonneburg hasn’t made this decision lightly. He must banish any heretical rumours that he worships the forest, as well as pay off his family’s debts to the city of Kerube.

As their investigation continues, Holo and Lawrence quickly realise the merchant at the centre of these issues of faith and trade is none other than Eve Bolan, who claims to need a vast amount of lumber to aid the Twilight Cardinal’s righteous cause. Is she using Col’s title as a cover to make obscene amounts of profit, or is there more to this story than meets the eye?

Spice and Wolf, Vol. 24 by Jasmine Bernhardt and Isuna Hasekura delves into a web of intrigue where faith, trade, and loyalty collide in unexpected ways.
