Chosen

Chosen was written by Ted Dekker and was released on December 15, 2007. It is the first young adult novel in the new Lost Book series. These new novels span the fifteen-year period that is gapped in the Circle Trilogy's Black and Red. Thomas Hunter is still the commander of the Forest Guard when these stories occur. Johnis, Silvie, Billos, and Darsal are selected by Thomas Hunter to be the new leaders of the Forest Guard. Johnis is divided from the other three members, and stumbles upon the legendary Roush. The Roush give Johnis, and the other three members of his party, a new task. He must find the seven missing Books of History. Johnis discovers that he was chosen by Elyon to find and complete the prophecy that a boy will find the Books. This task begins the Lost Books series.
