Emerald Marcillon lives with her archaeologist parents at a dig site on the Yucatan Peninsula. She has trouble handling social situations and connecting with her peers, so she's an expert watcher.

Her parents believe they have found ancient artifacts from an alien war that spilled over onto Earth ages ago. What they don't suspect is that Inamma, the alien AI that survived the war, is still hidden in the jungle. Now that the artifacts have been found, Inamma has awakened, and it's seeking the artifacts. With them it can build a weapon that will end the ancient war once and for all—and with it, end the existence of all humanity.

Emerald's only hope is to escape on the Solar Explorer, a hollowed-out asteroid turned spaceship that will spend the next twelve years exploring the solar system. Can Emerald protect the artifacts and prevent Inamma from finishing its deadly weapon? Can she make friends and find allies? Can she convince people that Inamma is real, and not just a crazy story made up by a frightened girl?
