About Chosen (The Lost Books)

Chosen (The Lost Books) by Ted Dekker is a fast-paced young adult fantasy novel set in the same universe as his Circle series. The story introduces four teenagers from the Forest Guard—Johnis, Silvie, Billos, and Darsal—who are selected for a dangerous mission: to retrieve the seven lost Books of History before the evil Teeleh and his forces can use them to destroy everything. As they venture into the desert and encounter the Horde, the chosen four must rely on courage, faith, and each other. This first installment in a four-book series blends action, allegory, and spiritual themes. The copy offered is in good condition, may include underlining, highlighting, or minimal wear, and could have library labels, but remains a readable and engaging addition to any Dekker fan's collection.
