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?

It took a few minutes to find my way to Mardie, who'd been set up in one of the smaller rooms near the ballroom to help with anyone who was injured or might get sick as the night wore on.
"Lady Zara! And with no limp! You look lovely."
"Thank you, thank you. But I'm here to help my ward—and another of the visitors. Do you have any oil that can be rubbed on joints to help with arthritis or swelling?"
Mardie tipped her head. "If someone needs healing—"
"No, no. Just something to soothe… do you have a herb called lemongrass?"
"We do. I'm surprised to learn that you're aware of its properties."
I shrugged. "My grandmother lived with us when I was young. I just remember the smell of it and how she felt that it helped."
Mardie nodded as she walked across the room to where she'd set up a small table with several vials, bottles, and packets of herbs.
