[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?

The moment I turned my back on Zara, Emory's voice rose to echo through the cold dungeon.
"Please, Highness! Please! Sire, just give me a moment!"
A guard snapped something dark and I hunched against the words, refusing to respond.
"YOUR HIGHNESS, PLEA—"
The telltale creak of iron hinges was almost immediately followed by a thin shriek, and a muttered order to keep her mouth shut.
I felt the blow as if it had landed on me, but I gritted my teeth and steeled myself against it.
Emory had dug her own grave in this. She'd forced me to imprison her. And now… now she was trying to bring my attention back to her?
She had to know that with Zara here, I'd care less and less for what she had to say?
