| Summary |
Things get personal for Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja Lily Wong in Hong Kong when she dives into the dangerous world of triads, romance, and corporate disaster during the height of the pro-democracy protests. Lily's mother has been summoned by her grandfather, Gung-Gung, to attend an emergency board meeting, and Lily is happy to take her father's place for exotic travel, family reunions, and romantic dates with her new boyfriend, Daniel Kwok, who's there for business. Lily and her mother stay at her grandparents' hillside home on Hong Kong Island, but tension between Gung-Gung and Ma makes it hard to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, especially with the city in turmoil. Gung-Gung won't say anything about the meeting and Ma is worried that her career is in jeopardy. Meanwhile, the teenage daughter of Gung-Gung's driver is pulled into the dangerous riots. As Lily and Ma discover shaky finances, questionable loans, and plans for the future involving them both, Lily's escalating romance with Daniel puts her heart at risk. Will her ninja skills allow her to protect her mother, the family business, and the renegade teen while navigating love, corporate intrigue, and murderous triads? "Highly recommended for readers who enjoy strong heroines forging their own paths." "Lily is a compelling, Bond-like protagonist." "Narrator Natalie Naudus…keeps listeners absorbed by skillfully amping up her pace and tension …[and] exhilarates listeners during fight scenes…This installment, which can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, proves to be the most riveting yet." "A richly textured tale that fully capitalizes on both setup and setting…while feints and twists propel the plot and set the stage for Lily's next adventure." "Eldridge established Lily in her first two ninja mysteries as a protector of women and youth; here she expands her portfolio into corporate and family intrigues, triads, and even a little romance." "Lily Wong is my kind of kick-ass heroine. Love this series. Fast-paced and adrenaline-packed!" "A nonstop thrilling ride!" "Part Crazy Rich Asians and part Game of Thrones, The Ninja Betrayed delivers in all the right ways. This book rocks!" "Brava for Betrayed. It's tight, lean, action-packed storytelling with a beating heart at its center. You'll root for Lily. You'll also wish you had her with you when you fight the mall crowds at Christmastime." |
