Dantes flinches at those words; he knows he still struggles to overcome many of the feelings he has experienced in the past, including anger and jealousy. It seems that no matter what he does, he cannot completely expunge that negativity and the lust to destroy those who would harm him that still lives deep in his heart.

“Forgive me, Highest Father,” he cries, bowing his head to the ground. “I will find a new way of living through faith and servitude, I promise this.”

Elohim’s voice falls silent, and Lady Wisdom’s voice follows next. She comforts him.

“My son,” she starts, “you have seen more in your lifetime than some men would see in ten lifetimes. Use these experiences to learn, and look back on them not to chastise your innate nature for mistakes, but to grow going forward. That is the true basis of wisdom.”

Sitting in the sand under a tree and talking to her helps release the bad memories he has, including his tenacious feelings of revenge and remorse.

“I have seen much, Mother,” he says. “And I have traveled far. You are right; I should use those experiences to better the lives of those around me—to bring meaning to the world.”

“You are on the right path,” she says. “And you must ask yourself—is this roaming through the world truly what you want? Is there not more you need to accomplish than entertaining townspeople?”

“I have the will,” he says, “but not the way—what guidance can you offer me? What should I put my hand to? Whatever it is, I am sure I will not fail.”

“Your purpose will be revealed to you in time,” says Mother Wisdom. “For now, you must wait. If you are patient and have faith in me, I will lead you to your destiny.”

The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo is a continuation of The Count of Monte Cristo (Book I), related through the voice of Sherlock Holmes and The Sultan of Monte Cristo (Book II). It includes exhilarating new adventures, characters, and ideas, carrying the reader past book I and II and into book III of an ever-expanding new series based on the classic.

Those who have already had the pleasure of reading The Sultan of Monte Cristo will certainly appreciate the unique way in which the Holy Ghost Writer has expanded the original story without the help of anyone (except perhaps from the ghosts of Dumas and Doyle).

In addition to comprising a 3rd sequel to The Count of Monte Cristo, The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo serves as a prequel to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

After the much-needed bath, Dantes puts on his dressing gown and lies down on his old bed, which he finds deeply comforting. He has played and traveled hard over the past few busy years, and he knows it has worn on him; there is more silver in his hair than before. He hopes to slow down soon, for he loves his new home with his family close by and misses them terribly. The sweet, baby faces of his daughters loom in the darkness of his closed eyes. How blessed he is! He resolves to enjoy Paris while he is here, though. He wants to go to the opera while he is in town and also visit a few of his favorite haunts. Finally, he falls fast asleep, only to awaken to a servant telling him the meal is nearly ready.
The servant helps Dantes dress and leads him to the dining room.
“The table looks divine,” Dantes says, thinking how nice it is to be out of his traveling clothes and into something more refined. He looks at the spread before him—fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as two huge pheasants with mint jelly. The yeasty smell of homemade bread fills the air and makes his mouth water.
“I hope this pleases you, sir,” Valentine tells him. “I know the food in America is quite different. Perhaps you have become too accustomed to their fare to appreciate ours.”
“Oh, nothing can compare to a good French meal, although American food has its own charms. When the baby is old enough to travel, you will all have to visit my estate in Georgia. It’s a different world, but one I believe you will enjoy,” Dantes tells them.
Just then, he hears the creak of a wheelchair. In comes M. Noirtier. Dantes rushes over to him and bids him hello.
“My old friend!” he says. “My heart fills with joy to see you—let us enjoy this magnificent feast as well as one another’s company.”
The next morning, Dantes plans to visit more of his old friends, at least those who still reside in Paris. A carriage awaits him in the hazy light of dawn, and he is flooded with memories as he drives through the streets. He wishes Mercedes and Haydee could be at his side, but knows his daughters are far too young for such travel; it would exhaust them.
