[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?

"Stark, have you located Lady Zara?" I asked quietly and as calmly as I could.
Stark stayed his expressionless self, though I knew he always felt the tension in me.
"I have two guards on it," he said. "She's been seen by several tonight, and Agatha's complaining about her. Fear not, David, it's a crush down there. We'll find her. She hasn't left the room. We have guards at every door. I checked."
"David, fucking focus!" Erik snapped. "The more important question right now is what you're going to do about those sorcery bastards," he said, quietly but firmly. "The longer they think you're casting a blind eye to them, the bolder they'll become."
"They're already beyond bold," I growled, still scanning the ballroom below. "Did you not hear me: Murder, Erik. Two successfully, one attempted, since you've been gone."
"Then you're just proving my point! There's no more time!"
