THE CHOICE: My King or My Knight?
[COMPLETE] When Zara walked in on her boyfriend sleeping with another woman, she cursed God for the lack of good men in this miserable, modern world. Then she woke up in a romantic land of honorable Knights and the Royal Court. There, Zara is stunned to find herself one of eighteen women called The Select, from which the handsome, powerful King will choose his bride. She finds the magnetic King compelling. But her dashing Knight Defender has declared his love—and vows to save her from certain death: Tradition requires every woman in the Select who is not the King’s chosen bride to be executed to cover her family’s shame. Yet, the King is also making his intention to win Zara clear. None of this would matter if it was just a dream. But Zara is soon forced to accept that this is no fantasy. Which means each man—and his love—is real. And this world is a deadly nightmare. As the tension between the two men grows, Zara must make a choice. But how can a woman choose between a powerful King and a deadly Knight? Especially when either would kill to keep her? Are you #TeamKing or #TeamKnight?

Behind the Shroud

It was a tradition of the Royal Wedding that on the morning of the ceremony, when both parties were prepared, they would be given time alone to speak an hour or two before the vows.
Of course, it was also tradition that the royal couple not see each other in their finery before the ceremony.
In the way of royals, that meant there were strict rules and rituals to follow. Though Zara and I had already broken the most important of them by marrying months earlier and waking together this morning, I still found myself thrilled by the prospect of fulfilling these traditions.
So, a couple of hours before the ceremony was to start, I was ushered into a large room where a thick veil had been hung from the ceiling and drawn across the space, splitting the room in two.
