[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?

Zara had never looked more beautiful. She stood, fingers gripping mine so hard her knuckles were white. The morning sun beamed down on us as if God Himself was spotlighting her. The warm light caught in her hair, sparkling in those gorgeous waves that she had left long and loose, just the way I liked them. Her skin seemed to glow, marred only by that red line at the base of her throat that made me rage every time I saw it. But I forced myself to raise my gaze back to her face, and to focus on her words, urging her forward with my heart every moment.
"We are so glad you could be here with us this morning as we step into this life, and into this rule together," she said, calmly, but loudly, her voice ringing across the courtyard so even the most distant crowd would hear her.
