Cycles of the Moon — Eric Wilder

The sun illuminates all things, the moon nothing but the shadows of our mindsParanormal investigator Wyatt Thomas awakens from a vivid dream in his French Quarter apartment. The ghost of Madam Aja, a famous New Orleans' voodoo mambo gives him an antique double-moonstone pendant and tasks him with returning it to its rightful owner, a supernatural being. One of the moonstones is missing, and Wyatt must travel back in time to antebellum New Orleans to find it. Along the way, he becomes an unwitting foot soldier in the Slave Insurrection of 1811, and could lose his head and have it displayed on a pike in Jackson Square if he fails to complete his mission.
