Books by Stephanie Garber

Start with Caraval, Legendary and Finale. Only then read Once Upon a Broken Heart, The Ballad of Never After and A Curse for True Love. Both series are set in the same world. Jacks, the Prince of Hearts, already appears in Caraval books 2 and 3 before he later takes the lead himself. In this order nothing gets spoiled. Just as it should be.

Already know Jacks from Caraval? Here he takes centre stage. Evangeline Fox makes a deal with him to win back her true love, and a deal with the Prince of Hearts rarely turns out the way you hope. The series has three books and reads like a fairy tale with sharp edges. Consider yourself warned.

Alchemy of Secrets came out in 2025 and doesn't belong to any series. In Los Angeles, Holland St. James follows the urban legends from a folklore course, and behind those legends there turns out to be real magic. Garber wrote this book for adult readers, not for young adult. We have it in hardcover, 400 pages. A lovely next step for anyone who grew up with Caraval.
