You don't mention software versions, but
https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/data-storage.html
should be a high-level overview. By default, the databases are under
~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/*/contacts.db in 3.28.

Not sure if any magic in the registry settings (dconf) is involved -
from a quick glance I can only see a value for the default address book
in there.
