About this book

Evangeline Fox swore she'd never forgive Jacks after his heartbreaking betrayal, but when a deadly curse threatens everything she loves, she's forced into an uneasy alliance with the Prince of Hearts once again—except this time, nothing is what it seems. With her own newfound magic as her weapon, Evangeline must navigate a treacherous world where the line between enemy and ally blurs dangerously, and trusting Jacks might be the only way to survive. This thrilling sequel will have you questioning who to believe as Evangeline battles ancient magic, unexpected enemies, and the complicated feelings she can't quite shake. Perfect for readers craving high-stakes adventure wrapped around a romance that's anything but simple.
