The Salmon-Solstice

By El Hoffman

A portal opens. A cat corrects it.

"The realm's competency comes before scratches."

Phoebe just wanted to celebrate her anniversary. Instead, her delusional former intern rips a hole between worlds, and Phoebe, her husband Stephan, her sister-in-law Clara, and a scattering of other humans fall straight into Indiretta-three days after Scarlet Evans's wedding, and just in time to watch her hand off the crown.

Henry the Cat III has had enough of human rule. Immortal, exacting, and the only creature in the room with a functioning ledger, he seizes the opening the moment Scarlet offers it-and sets about running Indiretta the only way he sees fit. A government that answers only to written petition. A currency renamed for clarity. A citizenry handed resources and told, firmly, to solve their own problems.

It should be simple. It is not. An elven coup tests his patience. A canine political movement tests his budget. A delegation of suitors from a rival cattery tests his very last nerve. And beneath every crisis he handles with total efficiency, there's one thing no ledger has a line for.

The Salmon-Solstice is the third book in The Indirettan Chronicles, and the true sequel to No Other Reason-following Phoebe, Stephan, and Clara from the life they knew into the one Henry now governs, whether they like his spreadsheets or not.
