Overview
A kiss will decide the fate of a prince, a princess, and two kingdoms. This time-honored tale as never before told. Spoiled Prince Gerit gets stuck in a bog. After an old witch helps him, he reneges on his promises. She casts a spell that turns him into a frog until a princess kisses him three times. After finding himself near the bottom of the food-chain in a hostile environment, Gerit must fight for his survival. When he finally locates a princess, he discovers that she is also spoiled and untrustworthy. To save her father's kingdom from the ravages of invasion, Anneliese agrees to marry a neighboring king she does not love.
