Book One in the By Arrow, Blade, and Claw Series  A crippled Ohio State archery champion (Cody Dugway) who can talk to animals, a Hungarian wolverine (Gitta), and an Arctic gyrfalcon (Polaris) team up to fight an infestation of Werewolves during the early to mid-1960s in Ohio, North Carolina, Utah, and the Great Northwest. Cody enlists his best friend and soul mate (Casey Allegro), his family and friends, and various animals and military authorities to aid in his fight during a five-year running battle through his high school, college, and early post-graduate years. Cody learns that dedication and sacrifice over time give meaning to love, honor, and courage; that opposition is essential for growth; and that while death is never a preferred companion, neither is it always the enemy.
