Once Upon a Broken Heart Reading Order (Stephanie Garber)

Stephanie Garber’s Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogy took the Caraval world in a swoonier, fairytale direction — and the Fated love interest, Jacks, became a BookTok obsession. Here is the order.

The reading order

1. Once Upon a Broken Heart (2021)
2. The Ballad of Never After (2022)
3. A Curse for True Love (2023)

What it is about

Evangeline Fox strikes a bargain with the Prince of Hearts to win back the man she loves — and discovers that deals with Fates always cost more than expected. Whimsical, romantic, and full of twists.

Should you read Caraval first?

It helps. Once Upon a Broken Heart is set in the same world and Jacks appears in Caraval. For the fullest experience, start with our Caraval reading order, then continue here.
