About the Books
Stephanie Garber built her reputation on lush, immersive fantasy with her bestselling Caraval trilogy, and the Once Upon a Broken Heart series takes readers even deeper into that same spellbinding universe. This three-book paperback set follows Evangeline Fox, a hopeless romantic who believes wholeheartedly in true love, even after watching the boy she loves marry someone else. Desperate for a happy ending, she strikes a dangerous bargain with Jacks, the charming and elusive Prince of Hearts, exchanging three kisses for his help. What begins as a simple trade unravels into a story of shifting loyalties, cursed magic, and consequences that ripple across every choice she makes. Across the trilogy, Evangeline's journey deepens from wide-eyed hope into hard-won wisdom, as betrayal, sacrifice, and simmering romance test everything she believes about love and fate. Garber's signature style, ornate, atmospheric prose paired with breathless pacing, creates a world that feels both wondrous and perilous, populated by fairy-tale creatures, cursed objects, and a slow-burn romance readers won't be able to put down. Packaged together as a matching paperback set, this collection lets fans experience the complete arc of Evangeline and Jacks's story from beginning to end, making it an ideal way to binge-read one of young adult fantasy's most talked-about series in one sitting, or to gift the entire trilogy to a reader discovering it for the first time.
