Meet the Oldens, a proud bucolic family of were-creatures-or shape-changers, as they call themselves-residing in western Washington state. Grandmother Nina Olden, the owl-changer, is the enlightened matriarch of the Olden clan. The eldest of her three grandchildren is Josiah Olden, the bear-changer, who is independent and even-tempered, yet loaded for bear when he or anyone in his family is threatened. He enjoys '70s pop music, blackberry wine, and making Olden Golden Honey, his enterprise.The middle grandchild is Sherman Olden, the wolf-changer, a good-natured ladies' man and grade-school teacher. The youngest is Kate Olden, the puma-chang-er, who is often ill-tempered and misunderstood, as she is trying to find her footing in the world. The Oldens live by an ancestral code known as The Path: always honor and defend the family, the land, and the sacred rites, come what may. Witness the trials, tribulations and triumphs of this unique family in their lifelong quest to preserve and protect their family honor.
