Betrayed: Ruby's Story

Destined, Book 4

By: Kaylin Lee

Narrated by: Lauren B. Leigh

A lonely girl. A dangerous Wolf. A plan that will either save them or break them.

Ruby Contos is the best young journalist in her city. She has interviewed hostile criminals and a former assassin without flinching. Just don’t ask her to stand up to her grandmother, the blunt newspaper editor who rules her life with an iron fist.

When Ruby gets a job offer from a famous art studio, she sees a way out of the professional journalism that is slowly crushing her spirit. She’s close - there’s just one story left to write before she can leave.

All she must do is trust a Wolf who refuses to trust her, journey across a wasteland, survive in a city run by criminals, and confront the continent’s most terrifying enemy.

As things go from bad to worse, Ruby must face the question she’s always been afraid to ask - how much is her life really worth?

Fairytale Retelling

Retelling classics is my favorite Genre! I love how these are all individual stories that tie into eachother. Each story is wrapped up neatly without leaving you on this massive cliffhanger like a series does. I loved the first 3 getting to read from the other characters perspectives, I loved getting a sneak peak at previous characters. It’s amazing how this whole world has been crafted and written out from so many different angles! Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series when they show up on Audible
