THE MORRIGAN CHRONICLES

Name/Pronunciations/Meanings:

WARNING

I use mythology and lore for all of the beings and creatures in this series. The names of the demons in this novel are not listed below. The demons included in this work come from the Lesser Key of Solomon, a very real book compiled from documents spanning centuries ago. The grimoire lists the descriptions of seventy-two demons, how to summon them, and the protection rituals to prevent them taking control. It is believed that saying their names aloud gives them power. Whatever you believe, I am not including their name pronunciations… just in case.
