The Ninja Betrayed

In the third instalment of the Lily Wong series, the modern-day ninja must juggle taking down an organised crime ring with new-found romance and prevailing family drama... all whilst keeping those she loves alive.

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. 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?"Lily Wong is my kind of kick ass heroine. Love this series. Fast-paced and adrenaline-packed!"

"Eldridge’s latest is a richly textured tale that fully capitalizes on both setup and setting. Inventive, expertly executed fights and chases share the page with mouth- watering meals and scenic vistas, while feints and twists propel the plot and set the stage for Lily’s next adventure."

"Part Crazy Rich Asians and part Game Of Thrones, The Ninja Betrayed delivers in all the right ways. This book rocks!"
— Don Bentley, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy's Target Acquired

"In Hong Kong, Lily’s softer side emerges as she opens up to romantic and maternal love, asserts her Chinese heritage, and embraces her Wong family protector role. High drama plays out against the opposing backdrops of cozy (scrumptious food and luxurious outfits) and gritty (fierce riots and dangerous triads)."
– Jennifer J. Chow, Lefty Award-nominated author of Mimi Lee Reads Between The Lines

"Thrilling as it is heartfelt, The Ninja Betrayed takes the reader deep into Hong Kong's underworld, while heroine Lily Wong punches through the tension rippling across the city. Each chapter kept me on edge as Lily pursued the secrets threatening her family, all the way to this book's satisfying ending. The Ninja Betrayed delivers with each heart-pounding rescue and sip of chrysanthemum tea."
