The Ballad of Never After

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The second book in Stephanie Garber’s spellbinding Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogy, The Ballad of Never After plunges readers back into a world where fairy tales twist into something darker, more dangerous, and utterly irresistible.

Evangeline Fox thought she knew heartbreak. But after the Prince of Hearts—the devastatingly beautiful and maddeningly untrustworthy Jacks—betrays her, she vows never to fall under his spell again. Armed with her own newly discovered magic, Evangeline is determined to reclaim the happily ever after that was stolen from her. Yet when a murderous curse threatens everything she holds dear, she finds herself in an impossible position: she must trust the very person who broke her heart.

This time, the stakes are higher. The rules have changed. And Evangeline will need to navigate a treacherous landscape of old friends turned enemies, new threats lurking in the shadows, and a magic so powerful it toys with both heads and hearts. Can she trust her instincts when her heart might be leading her astray?

Perfect for fans of dark fairy tale retellings and swoon-worthy romance with bite, this #1 bestseller weaves together mystery, magic, and the kind of tension that will keep you turning pages long past midnight. Garber’s lush prose and intricate plotting make this a must-read for anyone who believes that the best love stories are the ones that leave scars.

Not every love is meant to be. But some are worth fighting for.
