[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?

My brother intended to save me. He took steps we hadn't discussed because he cared.
When he left Emory and Zara's room was still silent, he'd entered using the passageways, intending to be me. To check her bedroom. To see if she'd betrayed me. If the reason her room was silent because she'd curled up with fucking Fireknight.
Instead, he found an empty suit, the detritus of hurried packing and doors open from the sitting room into the Defender's alcove.
Neither of them were there.
He hurried back to my quarters where I sat with my head in my hands, Stark glowering at me. Erik tore through the room, hissing, "she's fucking gone—he's taken her!" as he ran through my rooms and out into the halls, to approach her as me, so I could order the guards to search when I "discovered" her disappearance.
