Once Upon A Broken Heart

Book one of Stephanie Garber's bestselling romantasy trilogy, set in the same fairy-tale-adjacent world as her Caraval series. Evangeline Fox has spent her whole life believing in true love and happy endings, until the boy she loved marries her stepsister. Desperate, she strikes a deal with Jacks, the charismatic, immortal Prince of Hearts, who promises to make her heartbreak disappear in exchange for a single, terrible price. Lush, magical, and full of twisty fairy-tale logic, this opener launched an entire trilogy of swoony enemies-to-lovers tension, and remains one of the most-loved gateway romantasy titles for readers moving on from YA fantasy.
