 Ted Dekker’s best-selling Lost Books—now available in one volume.


Thomas Hunter, supreme commander of the Forest Guard, has seen a great evil decimate much of his beautiful world. With a dwindling army and an epic threat, Thomas is forced to supplement his fighters with new recruits ages 16 and 17. From thousands, four will be chosen to lead a special mission.


Unknown to Thomas, the chosen four are redirected to a different endgame. They must find the seven lost Books of History before the Dark One. For these seven books have immense power over the past, present, and future, controlling not only the destiny of their world . . . but that of ours as well.


Chosen


Four heroic young Forest Guards will be chosen . . . and then stretched to their limits.


Infidel


One of the chosen faces a staggering choice: How can he save those he loves without betraying his own people?


Renegade


Nothing could have prepared them for the showdown that one of their own is luring them into.


Chaos


Trapped in a new world, they must find the last book before the Dark One can in this epic battle that crosses worlds, tests allegiances, and plays for keeps.


Lunatic


Not all is as it seems and the chosen ones are questioning their very sanity. For the only way to win may be to lose.


Elyon


Assumed identies, a magic amulet, the fearsome Shataiki bats, and a troubling alliance with the Dark Priest all converge against the three remaining chosen.

Good not great

If I could give this 3 1\2 stars I would. I love Dekker & the Circle series was great. However, these books jumped around too much. The last 2 books almost seemed like he didn't know which direction to go so he made it up on the fly.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed them. Just a bit all over the place for me

So captivating!

I always love the way you can fully dive into these books. You get fully invested in each character and see into their individual battles and how it effects the people around them and the sequence of events! Definitely recommend!

Good read

The whole series kept you constantly trying to find out what next? Although at times in the later books and chapters got somewhat boring the ending was a good finish...although I would have liked to see Thomas some in the end.

Book 1-Chosen, by Ted Dekker was a really good book. I would recommend this book to my age group and young adults. It had a good fantasy-adventure type style and I think some children that like the style will like it and will want to continue to read it and then go to the next book which is Book 2-Infidel. Infidel was also a really good book showing that love can become one of our strongest strengths and it can help save someone you love dearly.

I really enjoyed this series it was so fantastic!I liked how it was both in our world and the fake world. My favorite one was Renegade, or Chosen, they were both really cool. But I did like how they went to Romania (my country)in the fourth book Chaos. Overall this is a book for big fiction lovers.

Excellent compliment to the the Circle Series. Even though it is teen fiction, it is as well written as the other, just with teens as main characters.

Absolutely fantastic!!! A great read for middle school age kids. A little sci-fi, fantasy and Christian values all in one.

It was a great addition to fill in and expand on all the happenings going on in that world Dekker created for the Circle Series.
