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?

The Delay
There was nothing we were required to attend that afternoon, since David was spending all his time having private meetings with other women—a fact I tried to ignore as much as possible. So in an effort to get Emory aside without drawing attention to it, and because I needed something to focus on, I agreed to play cards with her and Lizbeth, the timid blonde woman who'd been upset about the sorcery claims.
Even though Lizbeth seemed very twitching and insecure, she was also very sweet. And once she got past her fear of Emory, the three of us had a pleasant hour playing something called "Swim the Creek" in which we had to collect sets of cards and beat each other's totals.
