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?

Eventually Zara's exhaustion caught up with her and she slept again, the deep, impenetrable sleep of a body healing. It made me nervous, because she moved so little. And she looked so young and frail when she was asleep. But I knew it was good for her. And when dawn began to creep up outside the windows, highlighting the edge of the curtains in a soft glow, I rubbed my face and forced myself to leave her side.
There were conversations I needed to have, and I wanted to have them while she was sleeping so I could return to her when she was next awake.
I shouldn't have been surprised when it was Stark himself who pushed out of the chair beside the door when I left her room into the central space of the healing chambers. Should have known that he wasn't yet ready to release my care into the hands of another man.
But it was humbling all the same.
