About this ebook
Kate Silver hates being different. Funny, slightly-pointed ears, reflexes a little too good. Nothing at all like her 'normal' classmates.
Not even 'normal' enough for the middle of nowhere-Montana, with her crazy grandma, and a boy clearly staring at her from behind a Cap'n Crunch cereal box.
Hide all she wants, but some truths refuse to stay hidden.
"Hidden in Truth" weaves an unforgettable tale of mythical creatures and a hint of magic as Kate learns what being different truly means. The second story in the intriguing Elven Heritage series.
"I love this [story]; it was a very fast and clear read. A wonderful coming-of-age fantasy novel." —Dean Wesley Smith, USA Today Bestselling Author, on Hidden in Time

About the Author
Hidden in Truth
The freezing-chill Montana air zipped into the closet-sized grocery store as soon as the glass doors, moving at about the pace of a snail—maybe two snails racing neck-to-neck—creaked opened, and then closed again. All those canned vegetables and peaches, piled almost to that stained ceiling, didn’t seem to mind the cold. Sure they rattled a bit, just ’cause they were piled so high, vaguely threatening to toppling over with a loud crash, but that was all.
Nothing at all like Kate, standing there, her poor hands whiter than they’d ever been in her life, clutching her Cap’n Crunch cereal box and truly considering just abandoning it and heading back to Grandma’s behemoth truck, a truck that barely ran, but hey, at least it still had heat.
’Cause her simple long-sleeved shirt? Yeah, it wasn’t exactly the best protection against late-spring winds, apparently.
Nor were her jeans, especially the holes ripped in her knees.
She was shaking from head to toe, so cold that she’d lost her sense of smell about five seconds stepping outside the truck, and wondering why stubbornness ran in her gene pool…and caused her to leave her perfectly good, new sweater in the truck. Okay, the chances of the sweater actually being warm, and you know, useful, were pretty darn slim. But hey, it was a nice shade of pink that really went with her tone, and at least it gave the hope that she might, you know, stay warm.
Not that she’d been prepared for this weather. The cold, how it lingered in the air even after the sun finally decided to creep up into the sky, how it settled in your bones and just kinda hung about all day long.
Seriously, how could she have prepared when her mom had literally sprang from nowhere: Oh boy! Let’s go visit Montana and meet the grandmother you’d had never met in your life.
(The same grandmother, by the way, that her mom had sworn she was never, ever gonna meet.)
All of which would have been fine, or mostly fine, except for the really cold part, if she wasn’t standing there in the cereal aisle, the giant-sized (and camping-sized) boxes of Golden Grahams and Lucky Charms and the nasty, fake-wheat-healthy stuff towering over her, staring at her, practically begging that she take it and liberate it from this dusty hole of a grocery store (where they’d probably been parked on the shelves for at least three years). The staring, begging cereal, she could handle.
The boy staring at her, not so much.
Kate ducked behind the Cap’n Crunch cereal box. Her loose blond hair fell over her shoulders, the tangles getting worse even
