False-Kin Chronicles

They've been hiding among humans for generations. Someone just noticed. Three thousand years ago, mythological beings vanished from Earth. At least, that's what everyone thinks. In Hemmons, Oregon, being half-mythical is just another complication of college life. Meep is a half-lynx trying to keep her head down and make it through her shifts as a barista. Beau is a half-gnome with a brilliant mind and a spectacular lack of common sense. Neither is looking for trouble. Then the Auditor arrives. Armed with uncomfortable questions and an unsettling interest in the people around campus, the Auditor threatens to expose everything Meep and Beau have spent their lives keeping secret. Their best chance of staying hidden? An unlikely alliance with others like them. But the deeper they dig into the Auditor's reports, the clearer one thing becomes: the audit isn't just about discovering who they are. It's about why they're here. And the answers could change everything they know about themselves, their world, and the myths that were never supposed to be real. Welcome to the False-Kin Chronicles, where hidden magic, found family, and supernatural secrets collide.
