The twin Princes and Now and Later look identical, but act differently. Now is impulsive and sometimes sets things on fire, and Later is more sensible and good at Prince Training (a.k.a. school). Together, they enjoy circuses, donuts and mischief – until the Queen tells them they must make a choice: adventure far from home or an easy life in the palace. Either way, their lives will change forever.
