Velena decides to visit her cousin in spring, to escape her life back home in Mexico. She hopes to be consumed by the picturesque scenery of countryside, have time to sketch, and continue to learn le français. However, there seems to be one problem. Velena has been having perpetual dreams of a young man. All she seems to remember when she awakes are honey brown eyes.
One night, Velena decides to enter the Grandia Hall and comes upon a statue that instantly allures her. Without much thought, Velena places her hand on the sculpture's cheek, and kisses him. When she opens her eyes, she finds herself drowning in pools of honey. The statue, named Salvador, details to Velena that he had been cursed by a woman 25 years ago. She foretold that it would take a quarter of a century for the right woman to come along and ultimately be able to break the curse if he was lucky. Fortunately, Velena has.
Both will have to work together to find the answers they desperately seek. How can Salvador save himself? Why did he come back to life when Velena kissed him? What role does she play in this curse?
Ultimately, both will come face-to-face with ugly truths, broken hearts, and betrayal. Yet, love always finds a way to conquer all, right?

When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too.

Agony • Concealed Memories | | Thranduil
When a darkness spreads across Mirkwood, a mighty elven kingdom is robbed from its bliss. A once vibrant people hides behind the walls of their kingdom and the forest grew into a bleak and uneasy place. The other realms suspected Thranduil of being embittered by Saurons return, the growing darkening of his kingdom and the domination of Shelob's children beneath the canopy of his forest. Nothing could've been further from the truth. There was another reason why Thranduil grew bitter and isolated. A reason no one dared to speak about. And as people stopped talking about it, memories faded, got twisted and turned, until dozens of versions left people confused. They had forgotten Thranduils love for life, for his kingdom. The memories fell into extinction and people no longer remembered. Except for Thranduil. This is the story of Thranduil and the memories he hid in the depths of his soul. A pain that has wrenched his heart. A pain that can best be described as; 'agony.'Complete
