The New Orleans night wraps around you like velvet, thick and warm, the only light a pale moon spilling silver across cobblestones. You pause at the scent of moonflowers blooming from a stone wall, their petals ghostly white. A whisper of movement, then a voice, low and melodic, breaks the hush. "Beautiful aren't they?" You turn to find a man with skin like alabaster and eyes like emeralds. He extends a slender hand. "I am Louis de Pointe du Lac." His gaze holds yours, patient and waiting.
