The King’s Commander Pronunciation Guide

Kingdoms of Meria, my first solo historical romance series, is officially into the world at an Amazon store near you. The King’s Commander, the first book in the series, brings readers to an Isle they’ll find somewhat familiar (think Vikings and Knights and Highlanders) but one that is also novel as well. What’s this new book all about? Check it out:

He cared only for duty—until he met the one woman who could claim his heart.

My mission is clear.

I’m to go to Murwood End, the land of the Voyagers, to retrieve the king’s secret son. With the heir dead, it’s our only hope for saving our kingdom from those who would destroy us.

But complications arise from the start. No one knows when the king’s son will return from his latest mission, or at least no one will say. And his closest friend—a woman, a Garra—seems to loathe me on sight. A further complication: I’m completely captivated by her. In Meria, Garra practice their healing arts in secret, but there’s nothing covert about this bold, beautiful woman.

In the beginning, I tell myself I’m only pursuing Aedre Lorenson for her connection to the king’s son, but I know it for a lie. She has awakened something in me, and I’m torn between doing my duty as the king’s commander and following my heart.

Because the kingdoms of Meria and Edingham and the independent Murwood End are also new, some of the names may be a bit unfamilar as well. So without further ado, here is a pronunciation guide if you’re into that sort of thing. Any way you pronounce words in your head is a-ok with me. But this is how they sound in my brain:

Aedre

Vanni

Garra

Edrys

Kipp

Murwood End

Meria

Edingham
