[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?

These people exhausted me.
The fear and healing did, too.
Even though I was walking without pain now, I still felt like I was dragging a boulder behind me by the end of the day. It occurred to me that if my young body and mind were struggling, Agatha must be really pushing herself. And even though I was still on the fence about whether she liked me or not, I knew she meant a lot to David. I made a mental note to talk to Mardie and see if there was something they could do to make her more comfortable.
But as I dragged myself back to my rooms after dinner, my heart was the heaviest part of my body. I hadn't had a chance for any time with David at all. He had even been called away from dinner that night before we had finished the meal.
