Hope can be blinding. One decision – A chain of mistakes.

Once Upon a Broken Heart meets The Night Circus meets The Scarlet Veil in this new enchanting dark romantasy.

Bargaining with a stranger is never a good idea – Violette Effontesorts knows it well, but the desperation and hopelessness to get her father out of his illness seems too blinding. Her common sense gives in to a plea of her heart when she accepts an offer of a mysterious but captivating young man, Dante, who promises her elixir for a simple favor – to help take the odd enchanted mask off his face.

Their way lies through a birthplace of magic and great tales, set on alluring lands beyond the ocean, where they must journey to find the spellbook once belonging to the Old Witch, which holds the key to Dante’s freedom.

Strange signs and oddities follow Violette’s companion throughout their journey, planting seeds of mistrust in her heart, although only in the face of danger, she realizes that he is not a human but a much scarier beast than the ones hiding in the darkness of eerie forests they are wading through: a mythical thing believed to be extinct – a vampire.

And despite her reluctance to help a terrible night-being, there’s no way back, as they sealed a bargain with a binding spell so they have to keep their promises. No matter what.

Will Violette reach her desired goal to save her father, despite all the lurking danger in the nights spent hand in hand with a bloodsucking monster or… will it leave her among ruins with a scarred heart?
