Young wizard-for-hire Edward Red Mage was no hero, and he certainly didn't consider himself an instrument of Divine Justice–until he was called upon to save the life of one of his best friends. The friend? A social outcast accused of murder. The victim? A girl whose greatest problem (until her untimely death) had been being a little too attractive. The puzzle of how the beautiful young heiress' body wound up floating in the sea wasn't the only mystery. Everyone around the girl seemed to have a secret: her betrothed, her lover, even the friend Edward had sworn to defend. Love, jealousy, deception, and magic are all wrapped in a Cloak of Obscurity, the first mysterious fantasy by Angela P. Wade. First published in a limited-run print format in 2002, this book and its sequels are becoming a favorite among lovers of fantasy, mystery, and things medieval.
