Review
"A castle, royalty, betrotheds, servants, a leather account book, and dubious individuals all blend together on the mystical journey through Wyndano’s Cloak. Who is to be trusted? The visions and whispers bestowed upon Jen by Medlara haunt Jen. Should she act on them and warn her father? Danger is imminent with the threat of Naryfel.

About the Author
A. R. Silverberry, the pen name of Peter Allan Adler, holds a B.A. in music and a Ph.D. in psychology. Ever feeling the call for a creative life, he's a watercolorist, pianist, and composer. Silverberry's family is filled with successful writers, actors, artists, and musicians. He remembers being fascinated at an early age as his father explained how to create a plot by throwing together characters with opposing motives. Before he was old enough to write, he stole away with his mother to dictate a story. The love for fantasy was stimulated by a babysitter who, with a seemingly endless supply of Oz books, read him to sleep. Fairy tales, Tolkien, and the spine-tingling tales of Robert E. Howard sealed the deal. Silverberry has been a licensed psychologist since 1991, and continues to balance his clinical practice with writing. Wyndano's Cloak is his first novel.
