Perfect for you if...

You loved the first book and need to know what happens next between Evangeline and Jacks, especially now that she has her own magic.
You're drawn to enemies-to-lovers stories where trust becomes more complicated than hatred, and the emotional stakes keep shifting.
You enjoy lush, immersive fantasy worlds where magic is as dangerous as it is beautiful, and nothing is quite what it seems.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone novels and don't want to commit to a series that's already demanding you read book three.
You need a clear romantic resolution by the end and get frustrated with slow-burn tension stretched across multiple books.
You're looking for high-stakes action and plot momentum. This is character-driven and introspective, with mystery woven through emotional conflict.

About this book

The sequel to Once Upon a Broken Heart, The Ballad of Never After follows Evangeline Fox and the Prince of Hearts on a new adventure involving magic, mystery, and heartbreak. After Jacks betrays Evangeline, she discovers her own magical abilities and hopes to use them to reclaim the future he took from her. However, when a dangerous curse emerges, Evangeline must form an uneasy alliance with the Prince of Hearts once more, though the circumstances have shifted. Evangeline faces threats beyond Jacks alone, and despite her distrust of him, he may be her only reliable ally. A murderous spell has been cast, and breaking it requires Evangeline and Jacks to confront former allies, new enemies, and magic that affects both mind and heart. Evangeline has always relied on her instincts, but this time she questions whether she can trust them. This book is part of a series that continues with A Curse for True Love and The Mirror of Infinite Endings.
