Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston (2018)

Ana’s search for a lost android boy unravels secrets that could reshape the entire galaxy. The crew she travels with — pirates, rogues, and dreamers — give the story heart and humor to balance its darker themes. Poston delivers a stunning blend of sci-fi adventure and emotional depth. Think Anastasia in space, but with laser guns and found family.
