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?

Conclave
~ DAVID ~
My footsteps echoed ominously as I entered the secret chamber far below the castle. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and for a moment it seemed like the shadows were flesh, ready to reach for me.
I shook the feeling off. It was a child's fancy.
Sconces had been lit, and candles placed on every available surface in the round, stone room. But while Stark and I agreed that this space had likely been used for secret rituals in the past—it had a fire pit right at its center, and a thin smoke hole in the ceiling—it had only been used as storage in my lifetime.
The narrow stairs and halls that led to it were guarded every few feet by a pair of trusted men selected by each ruler, and the only servants who would be allowed to know there was a gathering, though it was unlikely Conclave had been explained in depth.
