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?

One of The Los Angeles Times' "Five Fall Mysteries You Shouldn't Miss"
Named a "2021 Top Summer Beach Reads" by The Strand
Winner of the 2021 Crimson Scribe Award
"Lily Wong is my kind of kick ass heroine. Love this series. Fast-paced and adrenaline-packed!"―Lisa Gardner, #1 Bestselling Author of BEFORE SHE DISAPPEARED
"Eldridge's series just keeps getting better. While readers can enjoy this book without having read the first two, a series highlight is Lily's evolution and the complexity and growth of her relationships. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy strong heroines forging their own paths."--Library Journal (Starred Review)
"Lily is a compelling, Bond-like protagonist."--Booklist
"Lily Wong is back and she's as irresistible as ever! Loyal, smart, tough as nails, she's all the things you'd want in a modern-day ninja. In THE NINJA BETRAYED, Eldridge pits our Lily against a Hong Kong Triad amid an atmosphere of civil unrest. The danger's real, but a ninja never shirks her duty. 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. Can't wait for the next installment." --Tracy Clark, multi-nominated Anthony, Shamus, and Lefty Award finalist and winner of the 2020 Sue Grafton Memorial Award for the Cass Raines Chicago Mystery Series
"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."--MysteryScene
"Like the pyrotechnic moves of her main character, Lily Wong, author Tori Eldridge infuses her prose with precision and power. Lovers of Los Angeles and justice for embattled women will find comfort in Lily's quest to right the wrongs committed in secret dark places. A nonstop thrilling ride!"--Naomi Hirahara, Edgar Award-winning author of CLARK AND DIVISION
"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 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."--Elle Marr, Amazon Charts bestselling author of THE MISSING SISTER and LIES WE BURY
OUTSTANDING PRAISE FOR THE NINJA'S BLADE
