The storybooks got it wrong.
Goldilocks wasn't a weak little girl.
She wasn't chased off by the bears.
She was the girl with the bow and arrow who knew how to win a fight.
She was going to kill the man who ruined her life.
Gold's family was murdered when she was 15. After losing everything, while barely surviving, she picks up a bow and arrow and hunts.
To survive and bring justice for the family she once had.
Fen Bears. The man with the daggers. The assassin.
It wasn't personal when he killed. He was payed to.
And he needed the money to provide for his sister.
When Gold ends up in a sticky situation, She realizes she needs Fen, more than she cares to admit
But when does the person who kills for a living become the person you fall in love with?
