   Cloak of Lies and Dagger of Deceit makes more sense to me. I can picture   
   that easily, where your first version has me stumble, especially Dagger   
   of lies has me wonder what it means.   
      
   But that's just me.

   Maybe Cloak of Deception sounds better?   
      
   Or Cloak of Lies and Dagger of something else? I keep going back to your   
   post where you first wonder about the title, trying to grasp the train   
   of thought. Why not Cloak of Lies?
