New Release Books by Isuna Hasekura

After saving the Knights of St. Cruza from the brink of destruction, the Col and Myuri form their very own knightly order. Although Myuri is thrilled to finally hold a title she’s long obsessed over, she realizes that her position as a knight is making it harder for her to fawn over Col. Before she can rack her brain for a solution, however, a request comes in from Hyland for her to investigate Raponel, a region whose prodigious wheat production is rumored to be the product of a deal with a devil. Meanwhile, Col gets asked to discover a new continent to resolve the conflict between the Kingdom and the Church?!

With the Nyohira bathhouse in good hands, Lawrence and Holo continue their journey, exploring the world anew. Of course, it wouldn’t be much of an adventure if they didn’t run into some new faces—and some old ones, too. So when their old friend Elsa asks them to investigate a cursed mountain to discover the secret of the wandering alchemists and a fallen angel, of course they accept. It may be some time yet until they catch up with Col and Myuri…who have somehow gotten into a bit of matrimonial trouble of their own?!

The aspiring priest Col and Myuri, daughter of the wisewolf Holo and the merchant Lawrence, are finally settled into Atiph City with the help of Heir Hyland. Setting the noble from Winfiel Kingdom’s ambitious plan into motion, Col and a group of local scribes devote themselves to transcribing the scriptures into the vernacular. But spreading the words of God strays from the path of righteousness as Our Book of God becomes a catalyst of unruly contempt towards the Church. Is this revolt too a part of Heir Hyland’s vision? While Col clings to his naïve faith in humanity’s goodness, he needs Myuri’s wisdom more than ever.

After defusing another flash point in the ongoing fracas between the Winfiel Kingdom and the Church, Col and Myuri are more than ready to take a breather. Of course, the world has other plans for the infamous Twilight Cardinal. As the pair leisurely make their way to a famous monastery, they stumble upon a fallen squire who carries a desperate plea for help. With the world’s strongest holy order of knights on the brink of dissolution and Col apparently to blame, there’s no time to waste!

But what of the rumor that a witch lives in that very same village...?

In a break from Lawrence and Holo''s ongoing adventures, author Isuna Hasekura presents "Side Colors," a series of short vignettes focusing on the fans'' favorite characters.

Continuing their journey north, Lawrence and Holo stop in the village of Tereo in hopes of finding a local abbey where they might uncover more information regarding the fate of Holo''s ancient home, Yoitsu. Soon after their arrival, though, the companions are caught up in a local dispute between Tereo and the neighboring town of Enberch that could cost Lawrence and Holo both their fortunes and their lives! With the Wisewolf''s help, can Lawrence devise a way to save an entire town from ruin - and his skin and that of his traveling companion in the process?

Following his good fortune in Pazzio, Lawrence is confident that he is on the path to realizing his dream of becoming a town merchant. One ill-informed business decision, though, leaves him teetering on the brink of bankruptcy and ruin! With no assets to his name - other than the cunning of his fetching traveling companion, Holo the Wisewolf - Lawrence may need to resort to illicit means to put his affairs in order. With all of the merchant''s plans hinging on one beautiful young shepherdess - for whose vocation Holo holds no affection - Lawrence''s prospects, both personal and professional, are looking grim!

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?

Lawrence and Holo''s long journey to Yoitsu is finally approaching its conclusion. Having arrived in the town of Lenos, they encounter a jolly bookseller named Le Roi--but is he truly the fool he seems? They''re closer than ever to laying their hands on a forbidden tome whose contents threaten to transform Holo''s homelands, but in the world of merchants, sometimes the only one you can trust is yourself...

As Holo and Lawrence begin the final leg of their journey, Lawrence decides to accompany Holo to her ancient home of Yoitsu, if only to forestall their parting just a bit longer. Boarding a ship from the port of Lenos (much to the chagrin of the wisewolf, who is none too fond of water!), the pair''s fate becomes entangled with that of a boy named Col, whose tale of his circumstances - combined with the gossip of the sailors - leads to a shocking revelation about Holo''s homeland!
