Tales of Shadows

Beyond the veil of mortal lands lies the Monster Realm-a kingdom of ruin and wonder, where love is a curse and power is bought with blood. Here, every creature bears a story: of hunger and haunting, of the fragile line between desire and damnation.

From frozen cathedrals to bone-forged altars, from Fae revels beneath cursed moons to lairs steeped in forbidden magic, the Monster Realm breathes with lives too fierce to fade.

In The Chains of the Eternal Debt, a trickster and an ice witch learns that love owed is love never free.

In The Chains of the Eternal Truce, sworn enemies find that peace can bind tighter than war.

In The Chains of the Eternal Fall, a fallen god discovers that redemption has its own price.

In The Chains of the Eternal Song, a siren's melody becomes both weapon and prayer.

In The Chains of the Eternal Hunt, predator and prey blur in the name of desire.

And in The Chains of the Eternal Vow, devotion becomes the deadliest magic of all.

Each tale unveils a fragment of a world where the monstrous and the beautiful are one-where passion is peril, and every kiss may be the last... or the beginning of something immortal.

Nikki Larousse, who was reared in northeastern Malaysia, has always been enthralled with mythology from all around the world. She would always return to the escapism she found in writing things down, even if she had to focus on reality and pursue her higher education and work-life balance on the side. The majority of her creations are rooted in notorious Western myths, legends, and folklore. She does, however, also incorporate Malay folklore from her cultural background into her stories. So, if you dare to dream of cunning heroes and fierce heroines who battle together to achieve their happily ever-afters, enter her realms of Larouverse.
