The Big A.S.S. Party

Geraldine is determined to give the Vega sisters the party they deserve on the day of their birth. She has already decided to prove herself their most loyal and dependable follower, and she treats the celebration as a mission she will see through or die trying. The queens are back in Solaria, and she is the one who cleared their path to the throne.

Standing in her way is Max Rigel, whom she calls her most sinful temptation. He wants to lure her to his sea cave, and she is not sure she is Fae enough to hold out against him for long. The pull of the moon keeps pushing the two of them together again.

This is a novella of about 25,000 words, set in the world of Solaria during the fifth Zodiac Academy book, Cursed Fates. It follows Geraldine and Max through what the narration calls the party of the century.

The voice is Geraldine's own, in the first person, and it is comic and absurd. Fish and seafood metaphors run through it, and so do running gags about salmon and buttery bagels. It reads as a short, light side story rather than a standalone introduction, and it is best read after Cursed Fates.
