Blurb: In a glittering underwater world, where danger lurks behind beauty and power, seventeen-year-old Miranda Sun must decide between her freedom and the love her heart ultimately yearns for. While taking a midnight swim in the ocean, Miranda Sun is pulled beneath the surface only to awaken in a glittering underwater city where she is being held captive by an arrogant young king, Marko. Marko wishes to marry Miranda in order to save his crown from falling into the hands of his sinister brother, Damir, who resides in the dark recesses of the city’s underworld. But Miranda is desperate to return home and right things with her sister. In order to escape, she spends her captivity concocting elaborate escape plans and forms an alliance with eighteen-year-old Robbie, Marko’s personal guard, in hope of securing her freedom. Miranda fights the pull of the glittering, beautiful undersea kingdom, her blossoming feelings for the smoldering king and the deep friendship with Robbie. But danger lurks under the glittering water. Miranda quickly discovers that even underwater, people have secrets….dangerous secrets which could cost her all she holds dear. EXCERPT: There was an awkward silence until Marko strode forward, stopping at the foot of my bed, his hands resting against the dark wood. Up this close, I could see that he was much younger than Sylvia and not much older than Robbie. He was physically attractive, like his sister, but the cold hostility in his steely blue eyes stripped all that beauty away. “Hello, Miranda,” he said, staring down at me through a fringe of thick, black lashes. His voice was formal and without warmth. I remained silent and rigid, hardly breathing. “Are you comfortable? Is there anything you need?” Yeah. My freedom. When I didn’t answer, Marko sighed angrily and whipped around to face Robbie. “Can she talk?” “She’s frightened,” said Robbie. Marko turned back to me, his frosty blue eyes thawing a little. “Don’t worry. I’m not going to lay a single hand on you.” Relief hissed through my teeth. “I’m glad,” I muttered, before averting my gaze to the nearest bed post and concentrating on the intricate mermaid and merman carvings, hoping he’d just go away. Marko laughed bitterly, shocking me. “No more than I am, believe me,” he said, before pushing himself away from the bed. His response didn’t make sense. If he, the king--not that I believed he was a real one—didn’t want me here, then who did? Why was I here at all? “She’s not my type,” he muttered to Robbie before marching out the door.
