Her Vicious Beasts: A Dark Romance Prequel That Sinks Its Teeth In
Before the chaos, before the war, before the beasts became hers—there was only survival.
Her Vicious Beasts: The Beginning by E.P. Bali isn’t just a novella—it’s a reckoning. This prequel unearths the origins of a heroine who will one-day command monsters, navigate betrayal, and find herself at the center of a dark romance where power and pain intertwine. But here? It’s just the beginning—and it’s feral.
Why This Story Hits So Hard Right Now
In a genre flooded with surface-level darkness, this novella dares to start deeper. It opens a door into the why behind the rage. The how behind the power. In a world where trauma is often aestheticized, Bali digs into its consequences, its survival cost, and its transformative rage.
This prequel is for readers who crave dark fantasy that doesn’t flinch. Who wants their heroines bloodied, brutal, and becoming?
A Glimpse Into the World (No Spoilers)
At the heart of Her Vicious Beasts: The Beginning is a girl thrust into a world where cruelty reigns. She’s nameless to the ones who cage her, a pawn in power games she doesn’t yet understand. But what they didn’t count on? Her evolution.
This novella is lean, sharp, and fast-paced. It pulls you into a bleak, merciless setting where the stakes are survival and trust is a weapon. But through the grit and grime, you sense it—something is stirring. A power. A bond. A destiny laced with danger, magic, and something feral.
The beasts haven’t appeared yet—but you feel them circling.
Themes & Characters That Cut Deep
- Dark fantasy romance meets feral girl energy
- Captivity, defiance, and the raw instinct to survive
- A prequel origin story that adds weight to every future decision
- Hurt/comfort, but the comfort is still miles away

What makes the protagonist unforgettable isn’t just her trauma—it’s her response to it. She doesn’t shrink. She sharpens. And while love isn’t yet on the table, the groundwork is being laid for a romance that will be anything but soft.
This is about foundations: emotional, magical, and violent. The beginning that promises a vicious middle and an earth-shattering end.
Who This Book Is For
This novella will captivate readers who:
- Devour dark fantasy with strong female leads

- Appreciate layered world-building and romance that simmers in the background while danger explodes upfront
It’s not for the faint-hearted. It’s for those who lean into the storm.
Final Thoughts

Don’t expect sweetness. Expect scars. And the rise of a queen who doesn’t need saving—she needs the world to kneel.
