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?

~ ZARA ~
I don't know how long I stood there, staring at the cracked door back into the ballroom, but I knew the moment Ash turned up, because he peered out through the door, his face an expressionless mask, but his eyes searching for me.
"Zara? What's going on?"
I just shook my head. What was I going to say?
I'd been standing there, trying to rebuild the sense I'd had of solid ground under my feet—reminding myself of it. From the moment we'd spoken the vows, my fear of David and his motives had dissipated like morning fog under the sun. I'd been so sure. So certain.
I still was.
Wasn't I?
Remember the source…
I swallowed hard. Emory and Ash were the only two people to warn me against David. And both of them had selfish reasons to do so. But… but that also meant both of them had reason to tell me the truth as well.
