Scion Chronicles: Blue Smoke E C Gladden

What had once been petty revenge is now a race against the clock. Kaing International--a mega-corporation specializing in computer research--killed Amelia's parents when she was eight, and since then Amelia dedicated her life to avenging their murder. Carrying a 100-year-old secred that has already claimed the lives of thousands, she is rescued from certain death by a small pirate group. Now, fifteen years later, Amelia discovers that Kiang plans to enslave an entire race. As she embarks on a mission to destroy Kiang, the corporation grows more ruthless in their attempts to capture her and learn the very secret to completing their nefarious plans. Unsure of whom to trust, Amelia is alone against the galaxy. From the debris rings of Vega to the metropolises of Earth to a research station in the interstellar void, Amelia desperately fights a war she doesn't even understand. She only knows that the lives of countless millions hang in the balance.
