About Infidel (The Lost Books)
In Infidel, Ted Dekker continues the thrilling saga of the four Forest Guard recruits—Johnis, Silvie, Billos, and Darsal—who are tasked with securing the seven lost Books of History. Johnis, hailed as a hero after his previous exploits, is devastated to learn that his mother, long presumed dead, may be alive and enslaved by the Horde. Against all caution, he embarks on a dangerous rescue mission, unaware that the Horde has set a trap. As he navigates this perilous journey, Johnis is torn between his deepening feelings for Silvie and his sworn duty to protect the Forest Dwellers. The story delves into themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the blurred lines between heroism and betrayal. With intense action, moral dilemmas, and unexpected twists, Infidel sets the stage for one of the group to be revealed as the Infidel, changing everything for the remaining Chosen.
