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?

"What? No! Of course not! I wouldn't trust her with things I hadn't even trusted to you!"
"Well, that's bullshit. You were talking to her about me from the first day."
"Only from a political level. I spoke to anyone who was key in those days. We were… Zara, things were so complicated and I was moving in ways I should never have done, just to keep you close. I needed allies. We didn't know what she was then. I thought she would understand—and it was a way to keep her on my side, but at arm's length."
