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?

Shit.
Shit.
What the fuck had Erik been thinking? And why hadn't he told me?

"Bold was the word you used, I believe," she said, her voice shaking slightly. "That you needed a Queen who could be bold. As I thought of it, it made me understand better why you'd Chosen Zara. I was confused before at what made her so… compelling for you. But now I think I know. Because she was that, wasn't she?"
I couldn't make a sound. Couldn't move. Other than Stark, no one had spoken her name to me in the weeks since she'd died.
Hearing those two syllables spoken so baldly hit me like an arrow, burying itself between my ribs and stopping my breath.
