A Curse For True Love: Thrilling final book in the Once Upon a Broken Heart series by Stephanie Garber

Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback

Overview:
Evangeline Fox thought she had found her fairytale in the Magnificent North: a majestic castle, a charming husband, and a veneer of happily-ever-after. But in this final chapter of Stephanie Garber’s Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogy, happiness wears a dangerous mask. The life Evangeline has built—romance, security, the aura of a perfect ending—hides a brutal price she has yet to pay. Her husband is intent on keeping the truth buried, and his first move is chilling: he must remove Jacks, the unforgettable Prince of Hearts, from Evangeline’s orbit. Blood will be shed, hearts will be stolen, and trust will be tested beyond endurance as the promise of true love collides with power, deception, and fate. Garber’s signature lush, lyrical prose runs breathlessly through every page as Evangeline navigates a web of bargains, loyalties, and perilous choices. This is more than a finale; it is a reckoning with love, sacrifice, and the costs of wishing for a story with no endings. Prepare for a conclusion that sparkles with dark magic and heart-racing twists.

What Makes This Book Stand Out:
A Curse For True Love stands out in the crowded field of fantasy romance because it honors the perilous magic of its own premise while delivering a deeply human emotional arc. Garber maintains the fairy-tale atmosphere—the grand castles, whispered prophecies, and the allure of impossible wishes—yet she grounds it in consequences that feel personal and earned. The relationship triangle at the heart of the trilogy evolves without losing its spark: Evangeline, the enigmatic Jacks, and the regal yet flawed husband each carry demands that disrupt the very idea of happily ever after. The book moves with cinematic pace, balancing intimate character moments with sweeping magical set pieces, and it rewards readers with revelations that feel inevitable in hindsight rather than forced. It’s a captivating culmination for fans who crave twist-filled suspense, lush world-building, and a romance that tests the boundaries of loyalty and truth.

Who This Book Is Perfect For:
This book is ideal for readers who love high-stakes fantasy intertwined with romance and clever plotting. Fans of Stephanie Garber’s previous work—especially the Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogy and the Caraval series—will find the finale both familiar and boldly new. It’s a great pick for teens and adults who enjoy immersive worlds, morally complex characters, and emotionally charged narratives where love is never simple. Perfect for solo readers who want a gripping evening or for gift-givers seeking a dramatic, romance-forward fantasy climax that will spark conversations and long conversations about choices, fate, and what it means to truly want a ending that costs something valuable.

Key Highlights:

• Concludes the Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogy with a high-stakes, emotionally charged finale

• Compelling love triangle and morally nuanced choices that linger after the last page
