[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?

There was a point, near the bottom of the Palace stairs, where the wall that surrounded the Palace itself encroached. It offered a space, out of view, for servants to come and go in assisting with visitors or arriving and departing Royals, without being under the feet of the nobles or their personal attendees.
I crouched behind the wall, Emory, Lizbeth, and Hildie clustered behind me as I peered with one eye, as I watched David greet the kids, who'd been released from the top of the stairs by the nannies.
There had been a scary moment when it looked like Dara might actually tumble on her face down the stairs and I'd almost run out, but her brother caught her hand and helped her keep her feet, then they ran together on those pudgy, gorgeous little legs, straight to their father and the men around him.
