Overview

Leo, Maya, and Finn are stuck on a boring summer vacation at their grandparents' dusty old estate. But when they stumble upon a moss-covered sundial in a forgotten garden, something shifts. At a rare angle of the sun, they don't cast shadows; instead, they see fleeting glimpses of luminous trees and hear faint, melodic whispers carried on the wind. Curiosity pulls them in. By truly listening and believing in the whispers, they step through mundane foliage and into the vibrant, sentient Whispering Woods, a secret dimension called Aevum. Here, trees are ancient storytellers, animals speak, and magic hums in the air. But their wonder quickly turns to concern. The Woods are slowly losing their color and sound, threatened by an encroaching, silent grey mist-the Blight of Forgetting-that seems to steal memories. The First Whisper invites you into a world where belief is power, and forgotten stories hold the key to survival. Can three ordinary children from The Mundane save Aevum from the creeping emptiness, or will the whispers fade forever?

Author Information

Gregory Parrott is more than a writer; he embodies the very stories he's always yearned to read. Since his restless teenage years, he has crafted worlds where futuristic starships meet World War II battlefields, and ancient dragons exist alongside modern drones. By blending science fiction, historical fiction, thrillers, military sagas, and fantasy, he provides readers a captivating escape through time, space, and the complexities of the human experience. Living in New England, Gregory's vibrant life in Massachusetts deeply influences his narratives. Growing up with rolling hills and rich history has shaped his creative sensibilities. Now, he balances his writing with family life, cheering for his kids at sporting events or brainstorming bedtime stories over a cluttered kitchen table filled with sketches of alien landscapes and battle maps. Outside, Gregory finds solace in the rhythm of the water. Twice a week, he joins a veterans' crew in a dragon boat on the Connecticut River. This disciplined teamwork enhances the realism of his action scenes. After paddling, he retreats to his gaming den, diving into RPGs and tactical shooters, treating these sessions as studies in pacing, character motivation, and world-building. Running also grounds him, especially in the vivid New England autumn. Every run clarifies his thoughts, with plot ideas emerging as his feet strike the pavement, creating a mental ledger of dialogue snippets, settings, and plot twists. Discipline and imagination fuel Gregory's storytelling. His early fantasies, scribbled during math class, echo the same passion that drives his current work. Years spent with veteran military strategists have refined his craft, marrying meticulous research with boundless creativity. Each chapter invites readers to explore universes where rogue AIs lead rebellions, medieval knights find portals to the future, and ordinary people become extraordinary heroes in war. His narratives resonate with the stories we all wish to hear, validating hidden dreams. With the precision of a seasoned tactician and the wonder of a child, Gregory offers a literary passport, transporting readers to extraordinary realms while reminding them that the magic of storytelling lies in the heart of the storyteller.
