Thomas believed that escaping the Maze would grant freedom to him and the Gladers. He was wrong. WICKED isn't done yet. Phase Two has just begun.

They have two weeks to cross the Scorch—the most burned-out section of the world. WICKED has adjusted the variables, stacking the odds against them.

Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.

And now there are others. Their survival depends on the Gladers' destruction—and they're determined to survive.

Can Thomas navigate this new trial, or will WICKED's games finally break him?
