PRONUNCIATION GUIDE
The pronunciation of words inspired or derived from Celtic folklore can be tricky for those who aren’t familiar, and are often pronounced in unexpected ways. Some words, I’ve adjusted to fit Aisling and her fantasy world so they aren’t quite how tradition would have it. Nevertheless, feel free to reference this pronunciation guide as you read on!
