Martha isn’t so sure. The more she sees of Prince Ribbit, the more suspicious she becomes. Armed with the facts, Martha sets out to expose Prince Ribbit and prove to her sisters that “just because it’s in a book doesn’t mean it’s true.” But before “The End,” Princess Martha might just learn that lesson for herself! <p>Jonathan Emmett’s clever twist on the “The Frog Prince” pits a spunky, bespectacled princess against a sly amphibian to teach a charming lesson on the pitfalls of trusting everything you read.</p>

The old High Priest believed there was only one person he could send on such a mission--Kerish-lo-Taan, the Emperor's third son, who was Godborn. But, though Kerish possessed many strange powers, his father had forbidden him to be taught their use. And he was still a boy who had never lived outside the pampered circle of court life. Nevertheless Kerish agreed to go, with his half-brother Forollkin to accompany him. Into the blue, chasing a legend: on this frail thread hung the fate and destiny of a nation. Prince of the Godborn is the first of four books that tell the extraordinary story of "Seven Citadels."
