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 was holding the candle. Ash gestured to me to be quiet, then nodded at the candle for me to blow it out.
Sick and sad, I did as he asked, praying there were no crawlies waiting to jump on me, but as soon as I got rid of the light, he turned his attention back to the wall and there was a small click.
Still putting a finger to his lips, he slowly, slowly opened the door—thankfully there was no creak or scrape. He peered out of a small gap for a long minute before his shoulders rose and fell once, then he said. "Pull up the hood of your cloak."
He did the same with his as I reached for mine, and then he pulled me quickly out of the passage and into the hallway.
And I suddenly realized why he was wearing such plain clothes.
Ashwood Fireknight the Defender, was very recognizable—in his uniform, or his armor, he'd be identified, and anywhere Ash was present, I was the next person they would expect to see.
