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.
