Brantley should have given up on Aoibh, but he kept searching. PC sucked, because most of the results were bullshit websites about the demons of Ireland. Then he searched wife of King Ao Guang. That came up with Her Story, which was banned and unavailable. The best he could get was a summary, which he'd heard a dozen times before. And the wife was listed as Lilith, not Aoibh. But then, if his father didn't do it on his own, his publisher would have insisted on changing names and locations for the protection of all attached to the project.

Wikipedia said, "Lilith is a female figure in Mesopotamian and Judaic mythology, alternatively the first wife of Adam and supposedly the primordial she-demon. Lilith is cited as having been 'banished' from the Garden of Eden for not complying with and obeying Adam."

He'd never read Her Story or even tried to, so he had no idea how appropriate the pseudonym was for the character.
