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?

In the Dark – Part 1
~ ZARA ~
I had heard Emory cry many times in the past week and at first I thought it was just an attempt to get attention.
But these times late in the night, when no one was even talking, when she was obviously burying her face in her arm and trying to hide the sobs broke me a little bit.
She'd been down here for weeks—and not being fed like I was. She had no strength. She'd lost a ton of weight. She was bruised, and dirty, and falling apart.
We'd argued about David, about this life, about the Physicists, and about whether or not she was a friend. I didn't trust her.
But hearing her cry like that…
It was the sound of someone who was cracking. And despite myself, my heart went out to her.
With a sigh, shivering, I crawled over to the bars. "Come on, Emory. Let's lay together again. If you're warm, it'll help."
