The Zauberi Glossary


I realized one day that as I wrote the books in The Zauberi Chronicles, I was regularly having to go back to check to make sure I was currently using the terms I had made up, or see if a term already existed for a character or if I needed to create a new one. So it occurred to me that if I'm the architect of this world and having trouble keeping everything straight, maybe there's a reader who is too. Armed with that epiphany, I created this glossary so that you and I both can remember who's who and what's what in the world of The Zauberi Chronicles.
