Jusqu'où seriez-vous prêts à aller pour être heureux à jamais ?
D'aussi loin qu'elle se souvienne, Évangéline Fox a toujours cru au grand amour et aux fins heureuses... jusqu'à ce qu'elle apprenne que l'homme de sa vie est sur le point d'en épouser une autre.


Désespérée d'empêcher le mariage et de guérir son cœur blessé, la jeune femme conclut un accord avec le charismatique, mais diabolique, Prince de Cœur. En échange de son aide, il lui demande trois baisers à donner à la personne, au moment et à l'endroit de son choix.


Mais après avoir donné son premier baiser promis, elle découvre que négocier avec un immortel est un jeu dangereux - et que le Prince de Cœur veut obtenir d'elle beaucoup plus que ce qu'elle a accepté de lui offrir. Il a de grands projets pour Évangéline, des projets qui se termineront soit par le plus grand des bonheurs,
soit par la plus exquise des tragédies...

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Stephanie Garber’s THE BALLAD OF NEVER AFTER is the jaw-dropping sequel to the ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART, starring Evangeline Fox and the Prince of Hearts on a new 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. Only this time, the rules have changed. Jacks isn’t the only force Evangeline 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 sure she can. . . .
