Out of the Shadows [Book 1 of The Shadows Series]

This is the story of Alicandra from her happy birth to her abusive childhood and through her safe teenage years.
Alicandra was born with the power to read people's minds and sense their emotions but, as she grew up, she discovered she had a much more dangerous power, one that people would kill to get their hands on. That power was shadow manipulation and those people were HYDRA.

[Warning, there are different languages in this which I use google translate for. If they are wrong, then feel free to tell me the correct translation and I will change it. Also, I know this is set in America, but I am English, so I may slip up on a word that is different in America during the speech of an American character.]
[I own nothing except Alicandra, her family and her story. Everything else belongs to Marvel.]
