Description
In the city of Druithane, the sky is a perpetual gray canvas, veiled by the Haze Mantle, a suffocating industrial gloom that erases memories. Marrow Trask, a former city archivist turned clandestine observer, navigates this labyrinthine world. Haunted by a past he can't recall, his only solace is a trench coat filled with forgotten identities and a notebook smelling of old ink. When Marrow uncovers a lead on the mysterious "Event of Ravelglass," a catastrophe that caused half the population to forget their names, he is drawn into the city's hidden depths. With the help of Silra Kene, a tenement rogue who trades secrets for shelter, Marrow must outwit Verrin Malcrye, the city's Minister of Memory Assurance, who will stop at nothing to rewrite the past. Marrow's greatest enemy is not Malcrye, but the slow, creeping loss of his own mind.

Person
Gregory Parrott is a writer of the stories he always wished someone else would write. Blending sci-fi, historical fiction, thrillers, military tales, and fantasy, Gregory invites readers to simply kick back and enjoy the ride.
A lifelong resident of Massachusetts, Gregory balances his passion for crafting captivating narratives with a vibrant family life, cheering on his kids, and paddling with his dragon boat veterans team. When he's not immersed in fantastical worlds or historical battles, you can often find him unwinding with video games or hitting the pavement for a run. A proud veteran currently serving in the Army National Guard since 2011, Gregory brings a unique blend of discipline and imagination to his storytelling. Many of the tales you'll find within his pages are stories he first dreamt up as a teenager, finally brought to life for the world to enjoy.
