'An unputdownable fairy tale' Kerri Maniscalco, New York Times bestselling author of Kingdom of the Wicked
From the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of the Caraval series, the first book in a new series about love, curses, and the lengths that people will go to for happily ever after.
For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in happily ever after. Until she learns that the love of her life is about to marry another, and her dreams are shattered.
Desperate to stop the wedding, and heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing.
But after Evangeline's first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game - and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she pledged. He has plans for Evangeline, plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after, or the most exquisite tragedy . . .

PRAISE FOR STEPHANIE GARBER
A sugar-crusted, poison-spiked romp through a vibrant world of fairy tale intrigue, tangled romance, and forbidden magic - Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Hours
Enchanting, intriguing, and delightfully whimsical, Once Upon a Broken Heart grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go. Evangeline is a cunning heroine, and Jacks never stopped surprising me. I couldn't put it down
Shimmering with magic, Once Upon A Broken Heart is a wondrous story about my favorite thing: kissing. Not only is Jacks the swoony villain you've always dreamed about, but the decadent world will leave you breathless
A wildly imaginative, romantic story where true love and deadly kisses collide and bargains with the Prince of Hearts come with a steep price. Once Upon A Broken Heart is an unputdownable fairy tale where Garber's imagination sparkles like the magnificent North. Readers will delight in each whimsical and thrilling page
Stephanie Garber has done it again. Once Upon a Broken Heart is a deadly, addictive, and utterly enchanting fairy tale. Loaded with magic and steamy slow-burning romance, I couldn't put it down
Dazzling from start to finish. With magic oozing from every page, reading Once Upon a Broken Heart felt like being swept into the most magnificent fairytale. With the perfect mix of whimsy and enchantment, Garber's newest series is not one to be missed
Enchanting and mysterious
A dazzling mix of mystery, romance, and magic
Stephanie Garber doesn't just dazzle - she makes me believe
Stephanie Garber spins a spellbinding tale
Inventive [and] delightful
A lush and decadent fairytale full of magic, romance, and intrigue with a gorgeous and enchanting new world to discover. I adored it
It's hard not to be enchanted by any tale Stephanie Garber chooses to write, with her masterful storytelling, and her infuriating way of fooling with our pulse rates. A guileless, heartbroken heroine plays with fate incarnate - the bad boy Jacks - in the dreamy, topsy-turvy world of the Magnificent North. Once Upon a Broken Heart casts a spell that you won't soon want to be broken
Decadent and enchanting
Once Upon a Broken Heart is every beautiful and wicked fairytale - from Brothers Grimm to Hans Christian Andersen to Disney - in one book. It's a story to lose yourself in, a tale to savour as you read, and a book to treasure like the dazzling jewel it is
The most deliciously moody, romantic, and enchanting tale awaits. Once Upon a Broken Heart is a captivating tale, perfect for lovers of romantic fantasy
I found it hard to put down and my panic grew as I drew closer to the end of the book with more questions than answers. I found myself needing the sequel and pouting quite a bit that it's going to be a long wait until we see what's next for Evangeline, Jacks and the Northern Court
I love how it takes the age-old trope of true love's kiss and twists it, and I love how the 'deal with a devil' theme is carried out in a fresh way. However, what I love most is the fairy-tale setting of 'the North', which is somehow portrayed as being magical and unusual, yet also as normal real life. It produces a whimsical backdrop with sharp-edged undertones that perfectly complements the main character and her tangled situation
Trust us when we say that no one does magic like Stephanie Garber
An explosively rich fairy tale that takes place inside an intricate world that's weaved with fast-paced plot and intriguing twists
Stephanie Garber has woven a dark and mysterious fairy tale. Powerful storytelling that will have you guessing, gripped and astounded
Fans of YA fantasy may recognise Garber's name from her immensely popular series Caraval, and this latest adventure has all the fantastically wicked stylings of her usual twisted fairytale-esque storylines. An atmospheric read, fans of Holly Black will adore this dark, seductive and glittering world that seems simultaneously beautiful and dangerous...
