The highly anticipated return of the author of Caraval . Love, curses… how far can we go to be happy forever?

Evangeline Fox grew up in her father's antique shop, surrounded by legends of fantastic, powerful, and immortal beings. Deep within her lives the belief in true love and happy endings. However, Evangeline is about to stop believing in what has guided her dreams: the love of her life is going to marry someone else.

Faced with such a cruel twist of fate, what can Evangeline do? The answer is difficult, but there is only one: make a pact with the Prince of Cups – powerful, wicked, and no less charming. His kiss, they say, is so enchanting that it's worth dying for. Now, the prince is willing to help Evangeline, but in return he wants three kisses from her, given whenever and wherever he pleases.

It doesn't take long for Evangeline to realize that making deals with an immortal can be – and is – a very, very dangerous game. The Prince of Hearts wants, after all, much more than kisses… and the plans that this Machiavellian immortal has for her could end in the idealized happily ever after or in the most perfect tragedy.
