Synopsis

*This paperback edition features a gorgeous new cover design!*

The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber is the jaw-dropping sequel to the globally bestselling Once Upon a Broken Heart starring Evangeline Fox and the Prince of Hearts on a journey of magic, mystery, and heartbreak.

NOT EVERY LOVE IS MEANT TO BE . . .

After Jacks, the Prince of Hearts, betrays her, Evangeline Fox swears she'll never trust him again. Now that she's discovered her own magic, Evangeline believes she can use it to restore the chance at happily ever after that Jacks stole away.

But when a new terrifying curse is revealed, Evangeline finds herself entering into a tenuous partnership with the Prince of Hearts again. Except this time, the rules have changed. Jacks isn't the only force she needs to be wary of. In fact, he might be the only one she can trust, despite her desire to despise him.

Instead of a love spell wreaking havoc on Evangeline's life, a murderous spell has been cast. To break it, Evangeline and Jacks will have to do battle with old friends, new foes, and a magic that plays with heads and hearts. Evangeline has always trusted her heart, but this time she's not so sure . . .

*Pre-order Alchemy of Secrets, the spectacular new novel from global phenomenon Stephanie Garber. Publishing 7th October 2025*
