Background
Series Context: The Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogy and Stephanie Garber’s Caraval Universe
The Once Upon a Broken Heart series is the second trilogy set in Garber’s Caraval universe, which draws inspiration from many fairy tales such as Cinderella, Snow White, and Beauty and the Beast. The first trilogy, the Caraval series (Caraval, Legendary, and Finale), revolved around the fantastical Caraval circus and the magic surrounding it. Jacks and Evangeline played minor roles in Finale before going on to be the main characters in the Once Upon a Broken Heart series (Once Upon a Broken Heart, The Ballad of Never After, and A Curse for True Love).
In Once Upon a Broken Heart, the first book of the trilogy, Evangeline begins her journey toward her happily ever after by praying to Jacks (the Prince of Hearts Fate) for her boyfriend to come back to her. Jacks is immediately drawn to Evangeline, but since he believes his kiss is fatal to anyone but his true love, he pushes her away and continues to do so throughout the trilogy.
Jacks also discovers that Evangeline is a “key”—one who holds the magic of unlocking in their blood.
