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?

Uneasy Thoughts
I had decided that this dream was in desperate need of the discovery and production of Ibuprofen.
I'd felt a little better when I could move around—slowly, wincingly—in my room. Abigail arranged a bath, and that was heaven. By the time I was re-dressed and walking—very slowly—to dinner I was optimistic that nothing was permanently damaged. But I was exhausted, and uncomfortable, and something uneasy rattled in the back of my mind and I couldn't shake it.
I needed silence and stillness. Especially when the two different times at dinner that David caught my eye and opened his mouth like he might call to me, someone else interrupted him and took his attention.
So once he had been called away to a meeting and the other Select gathered in a large library for games of very ladylike cards and reading, I excused myself to go to bed.
No one cared, except Emory. She hugged me quickly and whispered that she hoped I'd feel better.
