Defy the Stars (Defy the Stars Series Book 1)

Noemi Vidal is a soldier willing to risk her life to protect her planet, Genesis. Abel is an advanced machine who has evolved beyond his original programming after years of isolation in space. To their respective worlds, they are enemies—Noemi a rebel to Earth, Abel an abomination to Genesis. Forced by circumstance to work together, Noemi and Abel embark on a dangerous journey through the stars in an attempt to end their worlds' interstellar war. As they spend time together, both are forced to question what they have been taught. Their mission carries high stakes and requires sacrifice, and their growing connection raises questions about what it means to be human. Defy the Stars is the first book in Claudia Gray's trilogy, followed by Defy the Worlds and Defy the Fates.
