Finch Merlin and the Lost Map

Finch Merlin and the Lost Map is the 11th book in the Harley Merlin Series by author Bella Forrest. Magical mapping is an ancient art, also a great pain. Erebus takes Finch to the cartographer’s monastery without a guide. You are stuck on an island in Greece and don’t know how to get out? Both Finch and Kenzie knew they would be one of the pawns in Erebus’s game.

We invite you to follow this wonderful story.

Chapter one
French
The golden doors of the mapmakers monastery loomed over me
How long would I have to wait for the entrance to open
I’d only been here a few minutes and that already fell too long
Alright Erebus you’ve had your fun
Come back now and tell me what the heck I’m doing here
I stood in trance by the glowing gemstones lodged in the building Spires
Beyond the Cliff’s Edge the sea crashed against the rocks
You’ll catch flies if you leave your mouth hanging open sun
Field Southern lady broke me out of my frustrated referee
Sorry
I’ve been zoning out haven’t I
I don’t like a Schoolboy who been caught napping
You have
Come sit beside this old girl keep her company while
The old woman padded the seat beside her
It would have been rude to refuse an older ladies tended to dig me
Even telephone booths could be softened up and Doling out some answers
If I play my cards right
What’s your name
Lancaster my most Debonair smile
Sorry for not asking before I think the winds dollarway my manners
She chuckled
Lance Dunham
Pleased to meet you
Extended a wrinkled hand
I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to kiss it or shake it
I’m Finch
I like that my last name and opted for a shake
Both Merlin and the shift intended to raise eyebrows
And it wasn’t about to give up my state Secrets until I knew Miss Dunn I’m a little better
Unusual name
Shrug
Unusual parents
She laughs
Like somebody smoked 20 a day since he was 12
What is oddly soothing
There’s a saying ain’t there that your parents mess you up and you mess your kids up in the cycle goes off
I never had any young as myself so at least I was spared the weight of naming them
Always thought I’d have gone for something simple though a mark orogeny
I suppose you’d be too young to have little ones
Way too young
My heart almost fled for his life at the thought
But you’re right about parents
Anyway I hate to ask again but where are we like specifically
Pretend I’m clueless
Because I am
The mapmakers monastery
He replied
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes
And where is that exactly
Arco degrease
Asterisk in the ancient days right in the middle of the ionian sea
If you’re lucky can say ethika
Odysseus is old stomping grounds
She pointed to a larger island in the distance
Partially hidden by the haze that drifted up from the water
Greece
I gave daughter
Why is it so freaking chilly
Language
Sorry
Why is it so chilly if we’re in Greece
She smiled
The monastery it attracts the winds
Mario dissing
If that’s even a word
Fused a bunch of wins for something right
I’m a bit Rusty on my ancient Greek knowledge
You need to take a look at your ancient literature
Plants looked across the horizon
Chingy Ellis The Keeper of the Winds gave Odysseus a bag containing the strongest of
When’s first voyage home
I’d almost reach Ithaca when Odysseus decided to have himself a little nap
Is man open the bag wanting to know what was inside
Said all them winds loose and it pushed them right back to where they started
Then he got into all that trouble with monsters and witches and cyclops in the like
ISmart
An actual real-life Win Mag
I know a couple of those
Devin here’s looking at you a******
Basic moral tale son it ain’t a jazz to be taken lightly
There’s truth in stories if you know how to read them
Homer used Odysseus’s error to tell us
Not to lose sight of our goals till we’re over the Finish Line else you’ll end up beginning again
Interesting takeaway
Is this your Finish Line
Learning to make maps
I mean that’s why we’re both here right
If she thought we were in this together she might be more forthcoming
Oh yeah son
I’ve taken me many years to locate this here Monastery and I ain’t leaving until I’ve discovered how to draw myself
A magical map
To reveal hidden places
To where
If that’s not a rude question
I asked keeping a casual
Seaside Westerly
Eldorado
Great soundtrack
Elton John I believe
Totally underrated movie
Plants round
Hey
Nothing I Babble when I’m nervous
I cleared my throat
What’s in Eldorado for you looking for a snazzy pair of gold earrings or a big chunk of the yellow stuff to take home
Believe it or not I’m descended from Sir Walter Raleigh
I found out a while ago and it put me on this path
I’d like to finish what he wasn’t able to all those years ago when he set out to find that lost city
Unfortunately he didn’t have any magic to help him along so he never made it
She chuckled Riley a bit of God wouldn’t hurt either to pay off the mortgage and see myself comfortable for the rest
My days
Sounds like a good life plan
What’s knotted
As a young girl I always thought I’d be some Grand Explorer
But I found myself in magical Administration and stay ahead
Not to inspire and let me tell you
And now that I’m in the winter of my life I thought it high time I lived out those dreams
I’ve been waiting on me too long
If not now then it’ll be never
And I ain’t willing to go to the Grave without trying
I couldn’t help but smile
That’s so cool
Where is looked elegant in that way older southern women often did
Not a silvered hair out of place and wearing a full-face of make-up
She seemed friendly in a maternal sense
Even if you didn’t have the kiddos to go with it
I didn’t imagine she suffered fools given how quick she was to call me out of my language
I like your vibe
Find out that she was a badass granny using her retirement years to go trekking after the lost city of El Dorado just
Mater more awesome
What am I looking for
Eldorado sounded Ace but don’t didn’t seem like Erebus is flavor of choice
Which ordinary to Human
Riches Beyond one’s wildest dreams
That probably didn’t feature for someone like him
Even if he had given himself a physical body to get all snug inside
By draining the Fountain of Youth
Gotta be something else something more
Cosmic
Something befitting a child of Chaos
My thoughts flooded towards saskia and Garrett
They be going crazy worrying about me
Did they think I was dead crushed under all that rock in the collapse Jubilee mine
I felt for my pendant
The one Tatiana had given us in case of trouble
But it had vanished
You slippery fingered frog spawn
Erebus must have swiped it without me noticing
I had to let them know I was safe
And I wanted to make sure they were okay
Erebus had promised he’d rescued Garrett and Sassy I bet that smokey thorn in my side clearly couldn’t be trusted
McDonald in my pocket for my phone and looked hopefully the screen
But there were no bars to speak of
I waved it around like a madman
Everyone knows that’s the way to get a signal in a tough situation
Those two irritating words stayed in the top right corner
No signal
It wasn’t even giving me the option of emergency calls only
Maybe this wasn’t a red alert emergency but I could have done with a line to the SDC
I just wanted to let the people there know I was alive if not entirely kicking
Human technology don’t work here son
Bland’s broken
It’s designed that way
No mortal interference
I raise my hands
Ready to try out some magical interference
Wenches shaking head stop me
