Stephanie Garber's The Ballad of Never After is the fiercely-anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller 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. . . .

Stephanie Garber

Stephanie Garber is a name that has become synonymous with immersive, magical storytelling. Known for her Caraval series, she has captivated readers with tales of adventure, wonder, and the blurred lines between reality and illusion. Her works are a delicate dance between lush world-building, high-stakes drama, and unforgettable characters, each of whom wrestles with love, betrayal, and their deepest desires.

Born and raised in California, Garber’s childhood was filled with a love for stories—whether those stories came from books, her imagination, or the vibrant tales spun by the people around her. She credits this passion for storytelling as the foundation of her writing career. Like many writers, she began crafting her own narratives in the form of short stories and even plays. It wasn’t until her late twenties that she turned to novel writing, finding a place to fully explore the fantastical worlds that had always lived in her mind.

Her breakout Caraval series, which began with the debut novel of the same name, was a critical and commercial success, earning her a dedicated fanbase that eagerly awaits every new release. Garber’s writing is often described as lyrical and captivating, with the ability to transport readers to vibrant, dream-like worlds where magic is real and nothing is ever quite what it seems. Her books explore the cost of desires, the price of secrets, and the ways in which the world we create for ourselves can both set us free and imprison us.

Garber’s signature style combines mystery with magic, drawing readers into a world of masks and masquerades, where each page holds new twists and revelations. But it’s not just her plots that keep readers coming back—it’s her characters, complex and layered, who challenge the boundaries of fantasy and reality. Whether they are fighting for love, revenge, or redemption, Garber’s characters feel as real as the worlds they inhabit, and readers often find themselves wrapped up in their struggles, cheering for them as they chase their dreams and confront their darkest fears.

With a passion for creating intricate, fantastical worlds and a gift for weaving together emotional depth with suspense, Stephanie Garber has solidified her place in the fantasy genre. Her stories continue to inspire readers to believe in magic, embrace their inner strength, and remember that the line between what is possible and impossible is often thinner than we think.
