A world scorched by the sun, then famine, war and sickness came. The Flare, a virus that altered the persona, made them violent and attack others.
Then a new Generation rose, immune, strong, one that could save the world, and among them children that could be the answer to this horror of life.
Lucy and Darian, brother and sister, taken in by WICKED, training and testing, what exactly they don't know, but they want to help. So does Stephen, a boy Lucy's age who arrived the same day as her.
❝You are all still here because of an uncanny will to survive.❞
Solving the Maze was meant to be the end. No more tests. No more puzzles. They thought that by escaping the Maze that they'd been stuck in for two years, they could go back to their old lives. Find their families. But, they aren't aware of the world they would be going back to.
The world is dying. A wasteland. Struck by Solar Flares and falling to a virus that is driving the population of the world to madness. A virus named 'The Flare'. The happy ending the Gladers had hoped for is non existent, and they are thrown into another challenge.
Enter the Scorch, trek through dangerous conditions, face the Cranks and get to the Safe Haven to find the cure to the virus that is killing the world.
The Maze was one thing, the Scorch is another.
