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?

Let Me Try
~ ZARA ~
"Dad, I'm telling you, I can do this. You have to stop planning for failure." My heart was beating so fast, but as much out of excitement as fear.
It had taken my father a month to let me out of the estate house again after that injury. I was going stir-crazy. But he was finally saying that I could ride again—he claimed he had guards patrolling the estate in every direction, every day. And I reminded him I needed to get my body used to the activity again because we were leaving for Arinel in a week.
Holy shit.
I got excited every time I thought about it. But my father was insisting on having these strategy meetings every night. Even Ash wasn't allowed into the room for these. But Dad kept assuming David wouldn't pick me as part of the Select. I needed him to shift on that so there'd be no suspicion when I stayed.
He was, of course, being patronizing.
