The Ballad of Never After is the fiercely-anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller Once Upon a Broken Heart, starring Evangeline Fox and the Prince of Hearts on a new journey of magic, mystery, and heartbreak.

Continuing from the heart-wrenching climax of the first book, Evangeline Fox finds herself grappling with the devastating betrayal by Jacks, the enigmatic Prince of Hearts. Struggling to come to terms with this treachery, she vows never to place her trust in him again. With the revelation of her own burgeoning magical abilities, Evangeline becomes convinced that she can reclaim the happy ending that Jacks had cruelly snatched from her grasp.

However, as a new, more terrifying curse looms on the horizon, Evangeline grudgingly finds herself in a precarious partnership with Jacks once more. This time, though, the dynamics have shifted. Evangeline realises that Jacks might not be the sole threat she needs to be wary of; in fact, tangled in a web of deceit and danger, Jacks may paradoxically be the only one she can rely upon, despite her overwhelming urge to loathe him.

Instead of a love spell wreaking havoc on Evangeline's life, a deadly and murderous enchantment has been cast. To shatter this nefarious curse, Evangeline and Jacks must confront former allies, battle new enemies, and navigate a landscape filled with intricate magic and perilous choices that toy with both the heart and mind. Their journey will be fraught with emotional conflicts and power struggles, testing their resolve and forcing them to confront truths they'd rather avoid.

With the weight of the world pressing down on her shoulders, Evangeline has always trusted her heart to guide her. But now, amidst the chaos and the battle against this formidable curse, she finds herself questioning if her heart remains a trustworthy compass. Will she find the strength and clarity to reclaim her destiny, or will the ever-twisting tendrils of magic ensnare her forever?

The Ballad of Never After weaves a rich tapestry of enchanting storytelling, filled with unexpected plot twists, deep character development, and the timeless dance between love and betrayal. Stephanie Garber delivers a spellbinding sequel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly turning pages to uncover the fate of Evangeline and the enigmatic Prince of Hearts.
