[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?

Eleven days. Eleven days of the most stubborn, beautiful, determined bullshit I'd ever seen.
Zara acted like she was already in love with the King, which was ridiculous. And yet, she wouldn't be moved. If I so much as raised a question about what might happen here, she kept repeating that line. She was here for the King. She was not going to listen to me declare myself. And if I pushed the point, she would hiss a vicious reminder of my broken vow.
As if I didn't already carry the weight of that.
I was aware of my position of privilege—but it was a position I wouldn't even have attained without the Physicists. And King Davide Alexander Janus de Clare barely knew my name.
He'd sworn me in—accepted my vow, as Zara was insisting on reminding me.
