Captivate

In a glittering underwater world, where danger lurks behind beauty and power... For the past twelve months since her parents' death, seventeen-year-old Miranda Sun has harboured a dark secret -- a secret that has strained the close relationship she once shared with her older sister, Lauren. In an effort to repair this broken bond, Miranda's grandparents whisk the siblings away on a secluded beach holiday. Except before Miranda gets a chance to confess her life-changing secret, she's dragged underwater by a mysterious stranger while taking a midnight swim. Awakening days later, Miranda discovers that she's being held captive in a glittering underwater city by an arrogant young king named Marko. Nineteen-year-old Marko intends to marry Miranda in order to keep his crown from falling into the sinister clutches of his brother, Damir. There's only one problem. Miranda is desperate to return home to right things with her sister and she wants nothing to do with Marko. Trying to secure her freedom, Miranda quickly forms an alliance with Robbie -- Marko's personal guard. However, she soon discovers that even underwater, people have secrets too, dangerous secrets...
