When the age restriction for the Forest Guard, an elite army of warriors sworn to defend Eleon’s people, is moved from 18 to 16, Johnis, Silvie, Billos and Darsal are among the new recruits. Their first mission as a team: to bring four catalina cacti back from the edge of the desert, home to their forest; destroying the enemy, should any of the Horde cross their path. This one “simple” task becomes complicated when Johnis, a chosen one, is made aware of a true quest that he and his friends were destined to die for: recovering the seven lost books from the force behind the corrupted Horde: Teeleh, a monstrous, bat-like creature with vile breath and torturous tendencies.
Chosen is the first of a series (The Lost Books) that supplement Dekker’s other other-worldly novels: Black, Red, and White. They stand well on their own as well. Dekker’s writing style is very fast-paced and gripping, like a movie in your head, but still manages to remain centered on an involved plot and an awesome allegory. Dekker is one of my favorite authors, but I am still trying to get through all of his works. This was my first time reading this particular novel.

I was delighted to find this is a continuation of the authors Circle series which I read and enjoyed in my late teens. I’m looking forward to the next books in the series!
I think these books are good for teen (boys) I kind of got confused in areas. It is definitely thought provoking.
I liked this book. 3.5 stars.
The beginning was very exciting and fast paced, while the middle sagged a bit and got kind of tedious with the constant bickering. But I adored the characters, and the ending was incredible and made me eager for more. I will definitely finish this series.
Although I have not yet read the Circle series, I may now. This book was very good.
