an adventurous romantasy about love, memory, distance, grief, and the things people are wiling to do to preserve themselves. ****** Some places are held together by stone. Others by memory. The floating islands are drifting apart. As ancient traditions begin disappearing with them, Cultural Archivist Elowen Alder is sent across the skies to preserve what remains before entire cultures are lost forever. Accompanied by a wandering guide who seems to know every island by heart but shares almost nothing about himself, Elowen begins collecting forgotten songs, fading festivals, and stories no two islands remember the same way. Until the stories begin pointing toward something impossible. Someone is searching her journals. Witnesses disappear before she can question them. And the closer Elowen comes to uncovering the truth, the more desperate someone becomes to stop her. Because some histories were forgotten. Others were buried. And if Elowen reaches the Forgotten Isle, an entire world will be forced to remember what it chose to leave behind. With danger closing in and trust becoming harder to give, Elowen must decide whether the quiet guide beside her is the only person she can rely on... or just another story waiting to betray her.

It's been a lot of time since Grace stayed on Erid, and he got used to living there. And being only human on that planet. But Rocky was sent on a new mission, and Grace joined his friend to shock to find another human being.

"Your cooking tastes like prison food," Simon muttered into the glass, his voice bitter but without a trace of venom, fogging the pane as he spoke. Ryland let out a breathless, watery sound, halfway between a laugh and a sob. "I'll take that as a compliment." ---- A continuation of the story after the events of Project Hail Mary and Iron lung. I try to be as story (and fact) accurate as I can be for the nerds out there. I see you, you're welcomed here (and everybody else). I heavily rely on PHM book with some details from the movie. TL;DR Grace is panicking because Simon is hot, but make it slow burn and cosmic horror. :D My art!
