What is A Curse for True Love by Stephanie Garber about?

A Curse for True Love is the breathtaking conclusion to Stephanie Garber's Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogy, following Evangeline Fox as she awakens with stolen memories, married to Prince Apollo in the Magnificent North. Unaware of the devastating price she's paid for this fairytale life, Evangeline must piece together her forgotten past while Apollo plots to kill Jacks, the Prince of Hearts, to keep his secrets buried. The novel explores themes of true love versus obsession, the power of choice against fate, and whether curses can be broken by genuine connection.

Who should read A Curse for True Love?

A Curse for True Love is ideal for young adult readers aged 13-18 who love romantasy, fairytale retellings, and swoony love stories with morally complex characters. Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black, and atmospheric fantasy worlds will appreciate Garber's lush, magical writing and the Bad Boy romance between Evangeline and Jacks. This book particularly appeals to readers who enjoy memory loss tropes, star-crossed lovers, and stories where hopeless romantics fight for their happily ever after against impossible odds.

Is A Curse for True Love worth reading?

A Curse for True Love delivers a satisfying conclusion for fans invested in Evangeline and Jacks's romance, with high emotional stakes, romantic tension, and the lush fairytale atmosphere Stephanie Garber is known for. The novel features unexpected character turns, particularly Apollo's descent into villainy, and explores whether true love can overcome deadly curses. However, readers seeking complex plot development may find the romantic focus overwhelming, and the Bad Boy trope requires willing suspension of disbelief regarding Jacks's past actions and treatment of others.

Apollo meets a tragic end when he's consumed by the Tree of Souls after attempting to sacrifice Evangeline for immortality. The story curse's limitations are revealed, showing that genuine love and choice can overcome even the most powerful magical forces and predetermined fates.

Who are the main characters in A Curse for True Love?

A Curse for True Love centers on three main characters locked in a deadly love triangle. Evangeline Fox, the hopeless romantic protagonist, struggles with stolen memories and conflicting loyalties while fighting for her true happy ending. Jacks, the Prince of Hearts Fate, battles self-loathing and guilt over his deadly kiss curse while protecting Evangeline despite believing he's unworthy of love. Apollo, Evangeline's husband and the story's primary antagonist, descends into madness through his obsessive desire for immortality and possessive love, ultimately betraying Evangeline to achieve his destructive ambitions.

What is the memory loss plot in A Curse for True Love?

A Curse for True Love begins with Evangeline suffering from amnesia after Apollo stole her memories of Jacks and their relationship. Apollo manipulated Evangeline into believing she chose to marry him and that Jacks is a dangerous criminal who must be hunted and killed. As Evangeline pieces together clues that her fairytale life doesn't add up, Jacks's presence triggers the return of her stolen memories. This memory loss serves as the central conflict, forcing Evangeline to rediscover her true feelings and distinguish between the life Apollo forced upon her and the love she genuinely chose.

What are the major themes in A Curse for True Love by Stephanie Garber?

A Curse for True Love explores true love versus possessive obsession, contrasting Jacks's selfless protection of Evangeline with Apollo's manipulative control. The novel examines fate versus free will, questioning whether story curses and predetermined destinies can be overcome through genuine choice and human connection. Additional themes include the destructive nature of unchecked ambition, as Apollo's quest for immortality leads to his downfall, and self-worth and redemption, as Jacks confronts his guilt and learns he deserves love despite his past actions and cursed nature.

Capitolo 2

Awakening to a Forgotten Life

Evangeline Fox, a girl who always believed in fairytales, awakens to find herself in a nightmare-she's lost all her memories. A handsome stranger named Apollo Acadian claims to be her husband and prince of the Magnificent North, a magical realm she only knows from her mother's stories. Disoriented and confused, she learns her memories were "stolen" by someone trying to tear them apart. Apollo urgently leads her through an ancient library, away from a room with blood-spattered angel statues. When they encounter others, Apollo is treated with reverence and awe as he dramatically reveals his identity as Prince Apollo, showing off a tattoo of Evangeline's name over his heart and displaying his scarred back, declaring he "went through hell" to return. As Evangeline observes the Magnificent North through blue glass windows, she notices the picturesque snow-covered landscape and the formal, antiquated clothing of those around her-men in doublets and women in elaborate velvet gowns. This matches stories her mother told her about this enchanted land. Walking through Wolf Hall castle, she admires the elaborate door handles shaped like dragons, fairy wings, and flower-crowned wolves, though she's disturbed when she thinks she hears a voice from one of them. Despite being dressed like a princess in an exquisite blush tulle gown and surrounded by luxury, Evangeline feels incomplete. She senses something vital missing, something she needs to remember but cannot grasp. When Apollo carries her to bed that night, his familiar scent of balsam triggers a fleeting memory of feeling deeply protected. As he prepares to leave, she grabs his hand, apologizing for not remembering him. Apollo reassures her that if her memories never return, they'll simply make new ones together. When she suggests making a bargain with someone named Lord Jacks to recover her memories, Apollo vehemently refuses, revealing that Jacks is a monster who poisoned him on their wedding night and framed her for murder. He insists that some memories might be better left forgotten.

Capitolo 3

A Kingdom of Secrets and Suspicions

Apollo's return to the throne has created tension within the Council of Great Houses, particularly with Lord Byron Belleflower, a childhood friend turned rival. When Belleflower questions Evangeline's loyalty and suggests she might have worked with Lord Jacks to poison Apollo, the prince fiercely defends his wife. The council pressures Apollo to produce an heir quickly, arguing it would protect both the kingdom and demonstrate Evangeline's loyalty. Though some council members support this reasoning, Apollo refuses to force Evangeline into pregnancy while she still doesn't remember him. When Belleflower suggests replacing her, Apollo erupts in anger, ending all discussion about Evangeline and redirecting the council's focus to capturing Lord Jacks, declaring that "Until he's dead, no one is safe." Evangeline notices a "LORD JACKS WANTED DEAD or ALIVE" poster as she walks with Apollo, showing a shadowy figure with dark holes for eyes. Apollo warns her not to pay attention to it, expressing hatred toward Jacks. He leads her up a narrow spiral staircase to the tower's top, where they witness a spectacular "Firenight"-bonfires lit across the kingdom as blessings for their marriage. Despite her heart warning "danger," Evangeline kisses Apollo, who pulls her closer as fireworks explode in the distance. The next morning, Evangeline discovers winter has turned to spring. Madame Voss arrives as her royal tutor, bringing a book titled "The Greatest Love Story Ever Told" about Evangeline and Apollo. Strangely, the title briefly changes to mention "the Prince of Hearts" before correcting itself. When shown an illustration of Apollo dressed as the Archer from "The Ballad of the Archer and the Fox"-Evangeline's favorite tale-she experiences intense pain and realizes she must recover her missing memories despite Apollo's warnings. As days pass, Evangeline grows increasingly determined to uncover the truth. She becomes frustrated with Apollo's overprotectiveness and the shallow, repetitive nature of the book about their supposed love story, which mentions "love at first sight" so frequently it feels like propaganda rather than their real history. When she confronts Apollo about keeping her confined to the castle, he explains that some council members believe she worked with Jacks to assassinate him, and the theory is that Jacks took her memories to prevent her from betraying him. Though Apollo claims to believe in her innocence, he insists she must stay in Wolf Hall until they find Jacks.

Capitolo 4

The Mysterious Savior and Hidden Dangers

Evangeline's world shifts dramatically when she nearly drowns after being pushed into a wishing well in the castle gardens. As she struggles in the freezing water, a mysterious golden-haired rescuer pulls her to safety. This beautiful "warrior angel" holds her tightly before disappearing when guards arrive. The incident confirms Apollo's warnings about danger, but leaves Evangeline with questions about her golden-haired savior. Later that night, Evangeline is startled awake by the sound of an apple being bitten. A man sits watching her-the same golden-haired stranger who saved her from the well. When she thanks him for saving her life, he remains cold and distant, giving her a false name: "Archer." Though something about him seems inhuman and dangerous, Evangeline can't resist following him when he appears again the next day. In the Water Garden, Archer ambushes her, teaching her self-defense by restraining her and threatening to throw her off a rickety bridge. As rain soaks them both, their encounter becomes increasingly intimate-his cold hands on her bare skin, a knife tracing her throat. When he tosses her his jeweled dagger, it triggers a memory-she's seen this knife before. Evangeline realizes Archer has lied about knowing her, but before she can confront him, he vanishes. What Evangeline doesn't know is that Apollo himself orchestrated the attack at the wishing well-having guards give her a falsified note and push her into the well-to teach her she was in danger. He orders the guards who carried out his plan killed to eliminate witnesses, justifying this betrayal as necessary to protect his wife from everyone, including herself. Despite Archer's unsettling behavior, Evangeline sees him as her best hope for recovering her lost memories. The dagger he gave her feels like a breadcrumb worth following. Planning to seek him out at a royal banquet, she's unaware of the dangerous game being played around her. Meanwhile, Apollo grows increasingly jealous and possessive, especially when he notices Archer's jeweled dagger tucked in Evangeline's belt at the dinner party.

Capitolo 5

Revelations and Betrayals

The truth begins to unravel when an assassin attacks Evangeline in her bed. As she fights back, Archer suddenly appears, violently restraining her attacker. The assassin reveals he was hired anonymously to make her death "slow and painful." Archer swiftly kills the man to protect her. When Evangeline touches Archer's hand, she experiences another memory-of him rescuing her from drowning, not Apollo as she'd previously thought. Evangeline accidentally speaks Archer's name during a kiss with Apollo, triggering his jealousy. To cover her slip, she claims to have remembered their engagement night, describing how Apollo proposed while dressed as the Archer from an old fairytale. The memory feels real-Apollo on one knee, promising to write ballads on Wolf Hall's walls and carve her name on his heart. Yet she can't help comparing Apollo's proposal to her intense memory of Archer looking at her "as if he'd haul her from the clutches of war." She realizes how little she knows about her husband-his jealousy, his toasts to curses, the blood on his boots. The shocking truth is revealed when Evangeline discovers that Archer is actually Lord Jacks-the murderer she's been warned about. Looking at his sketch in a scandal sheet, she's torn between her feelings for him and the terrible accusations against him. Despite his having saved her life twice, she can't ignore that he admitted to enjoying killing people. Her confusion deepens when she's kidnapped by Lord Byron Belleflower during a royal hunt. After escaping into the Cursed Forest, she encounters a handsome stranger named Chaos who explains they're both trapped in a forest that ensnares people by recreating the best day of their lives but never allowing them to fully experience it. Before Chaos can explain why he's seeking Evangeline's help, Jacks appears and violently stabs him through the chest. Evangeline attacks Jacks for killing Chaos, cursing and thrashing as she tries to stab him. Jacks restrains her, explaining Chaos isn't actually dead and will revive soon. When Evangeline confronts him about being a murderer, Jacks admits his monstrous nature but insists he's trying to protect her. "I am a monster, but whether you remember it or not, I'm your monster," he tells her.

Capitolo 6

The Truth Behind the Memories

The full extent of Apollo's deception is revealed when Evangeline reads a worn note in Jacks's doublet-a letter she wrote to herself, warning against trusting the Prince of Hearts. The letter triggers a flood of memories-her first meetings with Jacks, their complicated relationship, and the truth that she had fallen in love with him. Most painfully, she recalls Apollo stealing her memories after Jacks disappeared, leaving only his blood on a mysterious structure called the Valory Arch's stone angels. Waking from these revelations, Evangeline finds herself alone with a mysterious glass cuff etched with cherry blossoms locked around her wrist. Later, when confronted by Apollo, she must pretend her memories haven't returned or he'll erase them again. She maintains her facade while silently seething with hatred for Apollo's manipulations. The truth about Apollo's past is equally disturbing. He first met a woman named Aurora Valor thinking she was an angel, after Aurora's mother Honora had cured him of his curses. Feeling untethered without his connection to Evangeline but still wanting her desperately, Apollo feared she would never forgive his attempts to kill her and might choose Jacks instead. Aurora offered him an elixir to erase Evangeline's memories, which he initially resisted using but ultimately employed when he believed Evangeline was choosing Jacks. The Valors, thought dead for centuries, were actually the treasure behind the Valory Arch, having been in suspended sleep. They manipulated Apollo into making them a Great House under the name "Vale." Now, Apollo meets Aurora secretly, where she hints at helping him become "the sort of man your wife will never dare to think about leaving."

Capitolo 7

Hearts, Curses, and Impossible Choices

With her memories finally restored, Evangeline discovers the truth from Chaos - whose real identity is revealed to be Castor Valor, the eldest of the Valor siblings. The mysterious glass cuff adorning her wrist is far more significant than she imagined: an ancient protection charm originally crafted for Aurora centuries ago. Its intricate magic is designed to detect and thwart anyone harboring malicious intent toward its wearer, but this power comes with a permanent bond - once worn, it cannot be removed by any known magic. Castor shares his family's tragic tale, explaining how his entire bloodline became trapped in suspended animation within the Valory, existing in a timeless sleep that drove his desperate attempts to open it. The situation grows more complex when Evangeline learns of Jacks's devastating bargain with Aurora. In exchange for the protection cuff, Jacks surrendered not his physical heart, but something far more precious - his "second heart," the magical essence responsible for his ability to love. This second heart, a rare magical artifact possessed by only the most powerful beings, contains centuries of emotions and memories. Castor reveals Aurora's long-hidden obsession with Jacks, spanning hundreds of years of unrequited love, and her likely intention to fundamentally alter Jacks's heart to force his love. Aided by LaLa, the mysterious Unwed Bride whose own tragic past makes her sympathetic to matters of the heart, Evangeline orchestrates a daring escape from Apollo's heavily guarded camp. Their search leads them to the vibrant Merrywood festival, where they follow an enchanted trail of shimmering flower petals deep into the ancient forest. The path is marked with increasingly disturbing signs - most notably a dead fox pierced by a golden arrow, its heart exposed, alongside cryptic warnings left by Jacks himself. They eventually encounter Aurora Valor, looking uncharacteristically vulnerable with bruises and torn clothing, who reveals a shocking twist: Jacks has reclaimed his heart, not to restore it, but to destroy it completely. LaLa, drawing from her extensive knowledge of magical lore, explains the gravity of Jacks's intentions. He's seeking a royal phoenix tree - ancient and incredibly rare magical entities whose flames are the only force capable of destroying a second heart. The destruction would be permanent, leaving him forever incapable of love. Aurora, showing genuine fear for the first time, reveals the full extent of her vindictive curse on Jacks: while the original story curse was devastating enough, she added a cruel twist - only a girl who will never love Jacks can survive his kiss. This means that even if Evangeline and Jacks share true love, any kiss between them will result in her death. The curse is absolute, with no known loopholes or exceptions. Despite this horrifying revelation, Evangeline refuses to abandon hope. Using her newfound magical knowledge, she discovers an enchanted arch that can transport her to the phoenix tree's location. Time running out and fully aware of the deadly consequences, she remains determined to reach Jacks before he destroys his heart - believing that true love might still find a way, even in the face of impossible odds.

Capitolo 8

The Tree of Souls and the Price of Immortality

Meanwhile, Apollo pursues a different path to power through the mystical forests. Aurora, her presence both ethereal and commanding, guides him along a hidden path few mortals have ever witnessed. As they walk, she scatters enchanted flower petals that part the heavy rain like a curtain and emanate a soft, otherworldly glow - creating a luminous trail through the darkness. The petals dissolve into sparks of golden light, transforming the gloomy forest into a magical corridor. Aurora presents her terms with calculated precision: Apollo must abandon his relentless pursuit of Jacks and work to restore the Prince of Hearts' reputation. Though Apollo bristles at these conditions, Aurora's cryptic smile and assured declaration that she's already taken measures to keep Jacks from reclaiming Evangeline sways his decision. The journey leads them to a vast underground cavern where the infamous Tree of Souls looms - a grotesque monument to dark magic. Its trunk, thick as a house and reaching into shadows above, pulses with an unnatural crimson light. Countless human faces press against its surface like prisoners trying to break free, their expressions frozen in eternal anguish. The tree emanates a rhythmic beating sound, like a massive heart, growing more frantic as they draw near. Apollo, despite his determination, finds himself deeply unsettled by the malevolent aura surrounding the ancient entity. Aurora explains that drinking the tree's essence would grant him perpetual youth and extraordinary strength - making him nearly invincible, though not completely immune to death. Wolfric Valor appears as a voice of warning, sharing his own haunting history with the tree. He reveals how Princess Serenity had once offered him its seed, hoping he would succumb to temptation and sacrifice his beloved wife Honora for immortality. The price, Wolfric explains with grave intensity, requires the death of one's most cherished person - a sacrifice of love for eternal life. Despite his emphatic warnings and obvious distress, Apollo's overwhelming ambition prevents him from truly hearing the gravity of Wolfric's words. The scene shifts to Evangeline discovering Jacks beneath the phoenix tree, their reunion charged with tension and unspoken emotions. Jacks attempts to push her away, finally confessing a devastating truth: he had once used powerful magic to turn back time after watching her die in his arms. Despite his desperate warnings, Evangeline chooses love over fear, kissing him with determined passion. To their astonishment, she remains very much alive - proving Aurora's curse false. Their moment of joy proves fleeting as Apollo's slow, mocking applause pierces the air. With calculated cruelty, he sets the magnificent phoenix tree ablaze, trapping Jacks in a wall of supernatural fire while dragging a fighting Evangeline away, her screams echoing through the burning forest.

Capitolo 9

The Final Confrontation and True Love's Victory

Apollo brings Evangeline to the cavern with the Tree of Souls, laying her before it like a sacrifice. He explains he wanted to make her his queen, but as a mere human, he can't keep her safe. He kisses her, calling her the love of his life whom he'll desperately miss. Jacks arrives at the cavern to find Evangeline bound before the tree with Apollo about to kill her. Enraged, he attacks Apollo, beating him viciously until Wolfric Valor's sons restrain him. To Jacks's horror, Wolfric sides with Apollo, preventing Jacks from saving Evangeline. Despite Jacks's desperate pleas that Apollo erased her memories, Wolfric insists what they're doing is right. In a shocking twist, Apollo raises his sword-but instead of striking Evangeline, he slices a crimson branch from the tree. Blood gushes from the wood as Apollo drinks from it, transforming him into a glowing, perfect being. His triumph is short-lived as the tree's roots suddenly grab him. Wolfric reveals the tree takes the life of the person you love most-and Apollo loves himself above all. Despite Apollo's desperate protests that the tree should take Evangeline instead, the trunk splits open like a mouth and consumes him, adding his horrified face to those trapped in its bark. After Apollo's defeat, chaos erupts as Jacks fights with the Valor brothers. Evangeline frees herself using blood from Apollo's discarded sword and stops the brawl. With Apollo gone, Evangeline no longer cares about her princess title-she just wants Jacks. Despite his bruises and torn clothes, he looks as beautiful as ever as they leave the cavern together, free to go wherever they wish.

Capitolo 10

Beyond the Curse: An Unexpected Happily Ever After

The story concludes with the Magnificent North's infamous story curse watching intently as the star-crossed lovers emerge from the depths of the ancient cavern. The curse - a being as old as stories themselves - has always harbored a particular disdain for this dreary setting, with its dank walls and perpetual shadows. But nothing draws its ire quite like the wretched tree that has taken root there, its very existence an affront to the natural order. Through centuries of vigilance, the curse has attempted to warn mortals by setting ablaze any stories that dare mention the accursed tree, yet humans remain stubbornly, foolishly drawn to its power. The curse finds itself oddly satisfied to see Evangeline and her not-quite-human companion, Jacks, demonstrate the wisdom to walk away from this place of ancient power and terrible secrets. It observes with uncharacteristic interest as the wounded not-quite-human boy keeps his arm protectively wrapped around the girl he once tore from death's embrace - a feat that defied the very laws of nature. When Evangeline, her curiosity still burning bright despite all she's endured, asks about the mysterious apples Jacks was constantly consuming, he deflects with a knowing smile. Yet in a moment of vulnerability, he softly admits he no longer needs them - a revelation that speaks volumes about the transformation he's undergone and suggests his own personal curse might finally have been shattered. As they draw closer together, their shadows merging in the dim light, the story curse makes an unprecedented decision to leave them to their own devices, turning its ancient attention to other tales beginning to unfold in the vast expanse of the Magnificent North. Their story stands in stark contrast to the traditional fairy tales Evangeline devoured in her youth - those simple narratives of pure hearts and perfect endings. Instead, their love story blazed a messier, more dangerous path, one strewn with betrayals, sacrifices, and choices that nearly cost them everything they held dear. The power of their tale lies not in magical solutions or destined romance, but in their fierce determination to choose each other repeatedly, even when facing impossible odds. Their reward isn't the conventional happily ever after of storybooks, but something far more valuable: a love tested by fire, strong enough to overcome ancient curses, defy death itself, and transcend the very boundaries of time. In the end, it's their shared scars and hard-won wisdom that make their love story not just memorable, but real - a tale worthy of being whispered through the ages in the wind-swept forests of the Magnificent North.
