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?

I'd gathered the men in the Royal library—a much bigger space than my personal study where I met with Zara.
With the women gone and only servants and a scattering of nobles powerful enough to stand with Kings, we were down to about twenty men.
Still, I felt as if someone had loaded bricks into a satchel and slung it around my neck. It was a work to focus and force myself to make jovial conversation. Especially when the conversation turned to the women who made up the Select.
Though it was exactly where I needed the conversation to go. I'd been waiting, like a cat hunched in the grass, waiting to pounce. I knew they couldn't endure an entire evening in my presence without raising it. I'd been counting on it. So, it was a relief when Barst, the ruler of Caeloria gave me a wicked smile.
