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?

Carrying Lizbeth away in the ensuing chaos after Zara stabbed David was surprisingly easy. Thousands of citizens were fleeing so the few guards who'd stayed at their positions and been smart enough not to rush the stage, were expecting to see bodies rushing by.
The woman herself had been terrified when I'd grabbed her, screaming for help, but then going utterly silent when I hiked her under my arm and ran.
No one noticed when, instead of following the road out of the Palace grounds and back towards the city, I took a side gate into the gardens that ran between the Palace walls and the servants entrance.
And by the time we got out of the walls entirely and into the surrounding countryside, the focus of the guards and soldiers still remained within the walls.
