Once Upon A Broken Heart follows Evangeline Fox, a pink-haired dreamer who strikes a dangerous bargain with Jacks, the Prince of Hearts — a powerful and morally grey Fate — to stop the boy she loves from marrying her stepsister. In return for saving her broken heart, Evangeline owes Jacks three kisses he can claim anytime, pulling her into a world of cursed love, twisted fairy-tale magic, and a prophecy that could end in either a happily-ever-after or exquisite tragedy.

Who is Jacks in Once Upon A Broken Heart?

Jacks, also known as the Prince of Hearts, is a powerful Fate in Stephanie Garber's Caraval universe whose kiss is deadly to anyone he touches — except the one girl destined to be his true love.

Is Once Upon A Broken Heart part of the Caraval universe?

Yes. Once Upon A Broken Heart is set in the same magical universe as Stephanie Garber's Caraval trilogy, sharing overlapping lore, Fates, and world-building.
