When the girl with the golden hair betrays everyone, not even she has hope of surviving. The stories say that Goldilocks was a naïve girl who wandered into a house one day. Those stories were wrong. She was never naïve. It was all a perfectly executed plan to get her into the Baers’ group to destroy them. Trained by her cousin, Lowell, and handler, Shadoe, Auluria’s mission is to destroy the Baers by getting close to the youngest brother, Dov, his brother and sister-in-law and the leaders of the Baers’ group. When she realizes Dov isn’t as evil as her cousin led her to believe, she must figure out how to play both sides or her deception will cause everyone in her world to burn. If her allegiances are discovered, either side could destroy her…if the Society doesn’t get her first.

Goldilocks was innocent once, but her cousin's plan to turn her into a killer has changed that.Before Lowell sent Auluria on a mission for his master plan of destruction, before Shadoe trained her to be a vicious and deceptive fighter, before she ever met Dov Baer and his family, Auluria was a young girl merely trying to survive.When Auluria is brought into Lowell's fold after the death of her aunt, she's placed under the supervision of Shadoe, a cruel and careless mentor to teach her to be a weapon in her cousin's war. As her training continues, she finds herself in growingly dangerous situations, all leading to her greatest mission yet: to destroy Dov and Berwyn Baer and become the deceptive fighter that no one will survive.Perfect for fans of The Lunar Chronicles, Divergent, The Hunger Games, and The Selection Series.
