5 years since I last saw him. "We'll be friends forever [name]" I was 6 years old when I heard those words. Oh yes we are friends forever?! You sure about that!?

What if it wasn't just Sage who was picked up by Conner at Mrs. Turbeldy's orphanage? Maybe he had a mischievous (but slightly calmer) twin sister who was his partner in crime. What if Roden and Tobias also had twin sisters, and all were competing for the thrones of Prince Jaron and his twin Princess Marianna? Rose is Sage's younger twin by five minutes, which he will never let her forget. Though she helps him with his trickery and thievery, she isn't as incorrigible and is at least somewhat civilized but not all that much. When they are discovered by a regent who wants to use them to take the throne of Carthya himself, the twins must learn to remember themselves while being trained to be someone else.

Jaron is suffering. Memories and nightmares haunt him. But life is perfect. He and Imogen are married now, and he has been the King of Carthya for four years. But he misses his family. He would do anything to get them back, but that's impossible... Or that's what he thinks... Follow Jaron as he suffers through the problems that Carthya throws at him constantly, and see how the Ascendant King of Carthya takes charge once again. ------------------------------------ This is a "The False Prince" fanfic. It takes place four years after "The Shadow Throne". Some characters may be changed for this story to work. I own nothing except for my original characters.
