Tarnish and Tremor (The Whitman Chronicles, #8)

Not every fracture is fatal.
But every fracture says something.
In Tarnish and Tremor, the Whitmans move through the weakened heart of a crumbling civic infrastructure. Muraled monuments flake into powder. Archive towers list subtly against the horizon. And underground, older codes-emotional, architectural, ancestral-begin to hum again.
Jonah Whitman surveys abandoned city sectors, mapping collapse not as failure but as testimony. Meanwhile, Lena Whitman begins collecting "tarnish fragments"-broken signage, ritual scrap, holy rust-to reconstruct a museum of echoes.
This is not a novel of rebirth.
It's a novel of standing within what's falling-
-and asking what still shines, even as it corrodes.

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.

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.
