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?

Just a Matter of Time

~ ZARA ~

Where were the servants? Why wasn't anyone shouting or running after me?

What the fuck was going on?

I made it to the stable and gulped down some water from one of the troughs, then found a handful of horses, but there were no grooms. Nothing. As if the place was deserted. I could only find one saddle, and it was so intricate, I didn't have a clue how to get it on the horse, let alone make it safe to ride on.

Then I heard a bang that echoed from a distance—a door into the house slamming? Had he seen where I'd run to?

There was no time. I had to run.

Unable to see whether anyone was approaching from the house, I darted out of the stable from the other side, where it was shaded with trees, then I started to run, praying, praying, praying that my father wouldn't find me. Didn't know which direction I'd gone, and that he wouldn't actually kill my mother.

Please… please…
