When Prince Rupert sets out to break the mysterious curse that’s destroying his kingdom, he’s ready to face whatever dastardly villain or vile monster stands in his way. What he isn’t prepared for are the bewildering new emotions he feels when he meets the handsome Amir, a rival prince on a quest to save his own realm. Forced to team up, the two princes soon discover that the only thing more difficult than saving their kingdoms is following their hearts.

"One of the most inventive scripted podcasts to drop in recent months comes from Gimlet. Booksmart’s Noah Galvin stars as Prince Rupert, who is trying to break a long-standing curse on his kingdom but is derailed by the handsome rival prince Amir. It stirs up all kinds of confusing emotions, which take this fantasy adventure to new depths. Christine Baranski and Matthew Rhys add their voices to a fairytale full of swashbuckling and teenage romance." -- The Guardian
