With fresh-found love in a new town, Jack Peredur and Suzanne Marat have a leg up on life in the early 1970s – or do they?  Lured by a leading scientist’s promise of mentorship, Jack’s moved from New Jersey to a college in the South.  Suzanne’s traveled further, setting aside a promising career as a dress designer in Paris.

Though she seems to be winning Jack’s heart, Suzanne dreads the day he learns the terrible reason she left France behind. When their clothes come off and the truth comes out, will her beauty and charm be enough to keep him from turning away in horror?

Nick Valentine and Alaine Lancaster are locals: he a shaper of psychedelic light, she a reader of the Tarot. But when the image on a card she’s dealt to Jack turns suddenly real before her eyes, Alaine begins to guess what danger may soon drag them all into the shadows of The Moon Path.
