"Think with your heart and prepare to die... for you have been chosen."

Thomas Hunter is the commander of the Forest Guard, and numbers are dwindling.  Army recruiting age must be lowered to 16 so that the Guard has a chance against the Evil that threatens on the edge of the forest.  Four teenagers have just been appointed by Thomas to lead the Forest Guard, but must first complete a special mission to prove their worth.

The mission of the teens is interrupted when they are redirected (with out Thomas's knowledge) on a new, and even more dangerous mission.  The teens must stop the Dark One from collecting the seven original books of history on an epic battle of good versus evil, while following rules like:

• No blood can ever come into contact with one of the books
• The books can never be read

After reading Chosen, you'll want to read the entire series to see what happens for the teens leading the Forest Guard!
