Summary
It’s been nearly 27 years since Eva Stratt forced Ryland Grace to board the Hail Mary and sent him off to his death for the greater good of mankind. Meanwhile, Eva and the Project Hail Mary team have been fighting a losing battle against the cooling sun—and their own demons—trying to make sure there were still people to be saved by the time the crew could send a solution home. Right on schedule, the beetles are returning to Earth, hopefully with the answer to saving the world. But Eva has something else to worry about; there’s every possibility Ryland Grace’s last words would be coming home, and all the time in the world couldn’t make her ready to face the consequences of her actions, or what will happen when her colleagues find out what she did to their friend.
It was time to find out if it was worth it for her to sacrifice Grace, and her soul, to save humanity. And to find out if she was ready to face him after all these years…- Language:

Summary
“If Arthur, maker of knights, can train a lowborn man to your satisfaction and prove we can strengthen our defenses from among our own, you will release me from this marriage agreement.”
To save Morgana from a loveless political marriage, Arthur has three months to turn a peasant into a knight. The only problem? That peasant is Merlin.
Otherwise known as She's All That but utter medieval nonsense.
