Top 10 Spotify • #1 Apple Podcasts Fiction • Starring Alyssa McKay
A romantic rags-to-riches saga. From life as an underage cam girl in Fresno to mansions and prep schools in Malibu, one girl tries to stay true to herself. Ella Sinclair is a survivor. She’s fierce, brave, and jaded. She finds herself a teenage orphan in dead-end Fresno trying to stay afloat and finish high school on her own. Enter The Royals. Through circumstances Ella can barely believe, wealthy father-of-four sons, Callum Royal, plucks Ella out of poverty and welcomes her into their posh lifestyle a world away in elegant Malibu. Even though both Royal boys are intriguing, the most magnetic is the oldest, Reed Royal. Reed seems determined to keep Ella from settling comfortably into her new charmed life amongst the rich kids of Malibu. But what is Reed hiding? Ella is just as determined to come through it all with her soul intact.
The Royals of Malibu is a production of Diversion Audio in association with Pod People.
