The Ballad of Never After (Once Upon a Broken Heart, #2)

by Stephanie Garber

The Valors, the first royal family of the Magnificent North, had constructed the arch as a passageway to a place called the Valory. No one knew what the Valory contained, since the stories of the North couldn’t be fully trusted,

In the case of the Valory, there were two conflicting accounts. One said the Valory was a treasure chest that held the Valors’ greatest magical gifts. The other claimed the Valory was an enchanted prison that locked away all manner of magic beings, including an abomination that the Valors had created.

“You must find them,” the old librarian repeated. “One for luck. One for truth. One for mirth. One for youth. But you must be careful. The stones are powerful, deceptive things. And the translation—”

Wasnt the dagger missin stones too?

“I know this makes me look rather suspicious, but I assure you, if you only knew the truth. If I could tell you…”

So theres something more to the prophecy/translation?

“Did you do this?” she asked. Jacks glared at her. “Don’t pretend you’d never hurt me in order to manipulate me. You just said that if I didn’t agree to open your Valory Arch, I’d really start to hate you.”

So who did this curse....has to be someone who knows hes alive???? Lala!?

She didn’t even know if Havelock was aware vampires existed, and in this moment, he might not care.

I was wondering this.....do ppl know vamps exist

“Please,” Evangeline whispered to Jacks, “use your powers to stop her.” He raised one imperious brow. “You’re asking me for a favor?”

Evangeline ur so dumb...cut the crap

Apollo raked a hand through his dark hair. “I’m sorry. I—I really don’t want to hurt you. I just—”

Hes a vamp!!!!!!!
