Exostar (The Lost Space Treasure Series, Book 1)

IS SHE ANDROID OR MORTAL?

A piece-of-scrap. That's how the townsfolk on Trinket's planet label her. The twelve-year-old is determined to prove that she's more than just a discarded android, but her prosthetic leg and blue veins in her hands make her wonder about her true identity. Trinket knows that she must get off-world before the cruel and powerful Remnants send her to the scrap yard, but things take a turn for the worse when the Remnant Supreme Leader discovers her existence.

Trinket could be the key to a lost spaceship that is rumored to hold the greatest hoard of gems in the galaxy, and the Supreme Leader wants it. As the alien civilizations of the Magnus Star Cluster wake up to the possibility that the legendary treasure exists, a frantic hunt for the lost spaceship - and its key - pits Trinket against an enemy that will stop at nothing to get what they want.

To uncover the truth about her identity, Trinket must confront the evil Supreme Leader or get to the treasure first. But with a looming interplanetary war for riches on the horizon, Trinket faces impossible challenges and must risk everything to uncover who or what she is. But what if the truth is too shocking to bear?
