Renegade
by Ted Dekker
2009
Beset by doubt and tempted by forbidden power, one of the chosen four breaks ranks, threatening Elyon’s cause from within. Johnis and the remaining teens must navigate shifting loyalties, savage enemies, and the lure of revenge as their quest for the Books of History grows more perilous.
Chaos
by Ted Dekker
2009
Thrown into our modern world, Johnis and his friends race through unfamiliar streets pursued by Shataiki and human agents. Their mission—to secure a crucial Book of History before the Dark One does—forces them to see both realities, and themselves, in a startling new light.
Infidel
by Ted Dekker
2008
Branded an infidel, Johnis is drawn deep into the Horde city of Thrall, where a cruel general forces him to choose between his commander and his friends. His daring gambit to save his mother and recover more Books of History will change the Forest Guard forever.
Chosen
by Ted Dekker
2008
This edition of Chosen introduces Johnis and his fellow Forest Guard recruits as they’re thrust into a mission far beyond their training. To stop a Horde plot and retrieve the first of seven lost Books of History, they must risk capture, betrayal, and their own fears.
Series background & context
The Lost Books graphic novels take the fast‑paced YA adventures of Johnis, Silvie, Billos, and Darsal and reshape them into comic form. They’re designed for readers who love the Circle world but prefer panels and speech bubbles to long chapters.
Each graphic novel condenses one of the early Lost Books—Chosen, Infidel, Renegade, and Chaos—into a tightly plotted visual episode. You still get the core beats: Thomas Hunter commissioning four untested teens, the desperate race to find seven missing Books of History, infiltration of Horde strongholds, and reality‑bending encounters that spill into our own world.
Seeing familiar creatures and locations drawn out—the diseased Horde with their scaly skin, the shimmering forests around Elyon’s lakes, the twisted architecture of Thrall—adds a new layer to stories some readers first met in prose. Action scenes become more kinetic, with battles, escapes, and confrontations laid out across full pages.
Because space is limited, the graphic novels tend to streamline inner monologue and secondary plots. The focus stays on friendship, courage, betrayal, and the cost of carrying powerful secrets at a young age. That makes them a good fit for reluctant readers who might be intimidated by a six‑book YA series but are curious about Dekker’s world.
On this page you’ll find the graphic volumes in order and notes on how they correspond to the prose books. Whether you’re introducing the Lost Books to a comics‑loving kid or revisiting the saga yourself in a new medium, these adaptations offer a quick, vivid trip back into the fight for the Books of History.
