Frogs At Noontide: A Frog Prince Retelling

Star-Crossed Fairy Tales #3 / 3
by Janeen Ippolito
Frogs At Noontide: A Frog Prince Retelling (Star-Crossed Fairy Tales #3) by Janeen Ippolito
Unrated

An outcast lady. A trapped prince. A slimy scheme to overturn a dynasty.

She’s marked by her past.

Lady Zeraphethina (Zeth, please) has finally escaped imprisonment by a malevolent hag and is ready to marry her prince—only he’s been transformed into a frog. At least, she thinks he's been transformed. Frogs aren’t known for talking, and her relations with the royals at the court are already strained without making outlandish claims. Instead, she turns to her tinkering skills, creating a trinket that might turn him back. Or make things worse.

He must free his people.

As the carefree youngest prince, Milos figured committing to his true love was enough responsibility. But now he finds that not only is he a captive amphibian, but so are many servants from the palace. And some of his fellow prisoners are looking far too comfortable in their frog bodies. Burdened by their plight, he must risk his life to rescue them and discover the culprits behind the slimy affliction.

They fight for their future.

Bound by chains of curse and law, Milos and Zeth must work together to end the enchantment and bring the culprits to justice. Otherwise, Milos and his people will lose themselves and become frogs forever.

A cozy, fast-paced YA retelling of The Frog Prince with clean/sweet romance, dark whimsy, bits of humor and banter, lyrical poetry, an HEA, and a LOT of frogs. Third book in the Star-Crossed Fairy Tales, but can be read as a standalone.
