The Ballad Never After by Stephanie Garber

The Ballad of Never After — Annotated Edition

Book #2 in the Once Upon a Broken Heart series

Not every love story is meant to end happily…

After betrayal shattered everything, Evangeline Fox is done trusting Jacks, the Prince of Hearts. Done believing him. Done falling for his dangerous charm.

But walking away from someone like Jacks?
It was never going to be that simple.

As a new, deadly curse unfolds, Evangeline is forced back into his world—one filled with dark magic, secrets, and impossible choices. And this time, the stakes are even higher. Because Jacks isn’t the only threat lurking in the shadows… he might be the only one she can trust. 

Magic twists. Hearts break. And the line between love and ruin becomes impossible to ignore.

This is the second book in the Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogy, continuing Evangeline’s journey through a world where fairytales are dangerous, and happily ever afters come at a cost.
