The Light Within the Shades : 1 by Chloe Morley

After years of unknowingly being hidden away, Julia finally discovers the truth about the power locked within her blood, and the family who would kill her for it. Her own family.

Given the choice between hiding for the rest of her life or accessing her power, she chooses the latter, vowing to fight against the tyrants sowing conflict throughout the land. But the intense power granted by an absent goddess has a lure of its own, and Julia struggles for control, fearing the rush she feels while delivering death with the flick of her wrist.

Keeping her humanity close and her secrets closer, she must find a way to defend herself against the gathering threats.

But will she eradicate them? Or become the greatest of them all?
