Ada, Mich. (May 24, 2018)—May 15 marked the release of Ted Dekker’s newest book, The 49th Mystic (ISBN 9780800729783; ebook ISBN 9781493414017, $24.99). Less than a week later, Dekker’s book has made USA Today’s Best-Selling Books list, ranking #76 out of 150 titles.
The 49th Mystic is the first book in the Beyond the Circle series and will be followed by Rise of the Mystics in October 2018. These books are in the same universe as Dekker’s well-loved Circle series (Black, Red, White, and Green).
With more than forty novels and over ten million copies sold, Ted Dekker has been referred to as “a master of suspense” by Library Journal. Dekker’s passion in writing is simple—to explore truth through mind-bending stories that invite readers to see the world through a different lens. He successfully accomplishes his goal in this epic story spanning two novels, The 49th Mystic and Rise of the Mystics. Dekker claims, “These two books are without a doubt the most important novels I have ever written.”
“The Revell team is delighted to celebrate this achievement with Ted,” said Mark Rice, vice president of marketing for Baker Publishing Group. “His fans have been waiting for his return to the Circle series, and we are proud to partner with Ted to deliver another blockbuster by the master of suspense.”
