Welcome to The Mythic Chronicles—a supernatural crime thriller saga set in an alternate history where magic is real, beings of myth and legend walk among humanity, and hidden wars between cosmic forces shape the modern world. Monsters are real. They just prefer to be called Mythics. ENTRY 1: Crime Wave In 1951, women are disappearing across San Francisco. What starts as a routine investigation spirals into something far larger: a spreading supernatural drug, weaponized magic, and a conspiracy tied directly to the city itself.And whatever is behind it isn’t just feeding.It’s building toward something catastrophic. Kinichiro “Whiskey” Mononobe is a Mythic—and a federal consultant brought in when cases stop making sense. Mickey McFinn is the woman people call when monsters need killing. They don’t trust each other.They don’t want to work together.But they don’t have a choice.
