Muerte's Circus

Ariah was a meek 16 orphan, living in Aunty Lucy's orphanage, when her best friend - 6 year old Josie Tate, also in the orphanage - knocks over the mean Lucy's prized china vase. To save Josie the pain of being yelled at in front of the other orphans, Ariah takes the blame. Aunt Lucy believes she can fend for herself at her age and kicks her out on the streets. In an alleyway Ariah comes across Cordelia Allura DeRosa, a stunning, mysterious woman, and that's when Ariah's life took a 180 degree spin.
