A sacrifice to duty. Magic gone awry. And a prince with the worst luck on the continent.
Prince Ari has always struggled to find his place in his own kingdom maybe because he spent half his childhood trapped in a swans body. His mother thinks he should find a wife and settle down, but far from being subdued by his past brush with magic, hes convinced life has more adventure for him yet. That belief takes him to the neighboring kingdomtheir former enemies who are now their allies.
Princess Violet expects nothing from the foreign princes visit, except maybe a last chance for some lighthearted fun. After all, she still has a few days before carrying out her secret plan to sacrifice her heart for the sake of the kingdom. Prince Ari will be leaving soon, so wheres the harm in a bit of flirtation?
Except neither of them have any idea of the forces working against their plans, both from inside the castle and from within their own hearts. And thats before Ari falls afoul of the worst luck imaginable. As it turns out, being cursed to be a frog is even worse than being a swan.
Aris apparent absence only clears the way for darker plots, but fortunately amphibians see things humans dont. It will take both a determined princess and a more-than-usually resourceful frog to uncover whats really going on before its too lateboth for Violets heart and the future of the kingdom.
