[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?

Erik swallowed before he answered. "I'll do whatever you'd wish. I can stay here and watch her. Take her away. I just want her safe. I can't let her get hurt here, because they'll get their hands on her. She doesn't… dream like I do. When she goes back, she's directly in their clutches. I can't… I can't fathom that."
I looked up at David and my heart rushed with warmth. He tipped his head and whispered, "You decide. I trust you."
Then I smiled. "Seems fitting, don't you think, if the Dark Queen's first move is to free a suspected Physicist?"
Erik's breath caught, but he didn't speak.
David nodded slowly. "What if she doesn't accept Erik though? She thinks he's me."
That was something I didn't want to think about, so I just shoved it aside.
