Heartbroken Evangeline Fox strikes a desperate bargain with Jacks, the immortal Prince of Hearts, to stop her first love from marrying her stepsister: he will intervene in exchange for three kisses at any time of his choosing. Swept into the magical northern kingdom of the Magnificent North, Evangeline soon discovers that Jacks's agenda runs far deeper than the deal he offered, and that the true cost of her wish may be her heart itself. As curses, prophecies, and court intrigue close in, she must navigate a world where nothing and no one — least of all the dangerously compelling Jacks — is what it seems.
