PEARLS AROUND HER NECK Moira Aurelia has put her faith in a demon. She offered her hand and he took it. Partners. Just like that. Black eyes and sinful smiles, she trusts an incubus to lead her into the abyss if it means she’ll finally find her dad on the other side. Her real dad. The creature who cursed her. Or blessed her... morePEARLS AROUND HER NECK Moira Aurelia has put her faith in a demon. She offered her hand and he took it. Partners. Just like that.
