Sir Frog and The Thirteenth Princess

When Sir Frog, a wizard's apprentice turned into a frog, arrives at the palace gates seeking true love, it's no surprise that Queen Olivia sees this as a golden opportunity. An opportunity to marry off Princess Willow, her youngest and most stubborn daughter.

Princess Willow politely rejects Sir Frog's charms until she overhears a plot between her father's advisor and Sir Frog. They plan to put an obedience spell on her and force her to marry the frog in the hopes that she will change her mind and fall in love with him.

Determined to reject the frog's advances, Princess Willow turns to her Fairy Godmother Matilda for help. Still, fairies do not lend their aid for nothing, not even to their favorite goddaughter. Princess Willow doesn't want to think about what will happen if she can't convince her fairy godmother to help her.

Excerpt

Applesauce didn't like the sickly sweet smell of magic, but Willow once again urged the horse forward. Slowly the mare moved into the woods. The dense forest filtered most of the sunlight, allowing only green-tinted light to reach the forest floor. The scent of pine filled the still air. Willow directed Applesauce to follow a leaf-littered path.

"I hope this leads us to Godmother Matilda's house," said Princess Willow.

Willow's parents had one strict rule about the fairy woods; never enter the woods without an invitation. Fairies weren't the only magical beings living in the woods, and they didn't take too kindly to non-magical beings intruding on their land.
