Jinxed

Lacey Chu dreams of working with cutting-edge robot pets called baku and earning a place at the elite Profectus Academy. When she is rejected and stuck with a low-level baku, her plans seem over.

Then she finds the broken remains of an unusual cat baku and repairs it. The restored companion, Jinx, opens the door to Profectus and to a world of school rivalries, hidden systems, and baku battles.

As Lacey settles into her dream school, Jinx’s strange abilities raise questions about who made him and why people want him. Lacey must balance friendship, ambition, and secrecy while uncovering the larger mystery around Jinx and MONCHA.
