A hundred years ago, the sun’s flames crept hotter and brighter until daylight became a furnace—mankind retreated into the night, and the world was claimed by shadow. In the silence of moonlit streets, water became worship, and three mighty prophets—Children of the Sun, Moon, and Stars—rose from ash to rule with fire-forged faith. No one knows if the Scorch was divine wrath or a cosmic accident, but for a century the faithful have burned heretics, torn nations apart, and lived by ritual “Purification” to prove their worth. Now, sixteen-year-old Ádin survives in a hidden bunker, trading scraps for scraps and precious drops of water. Marked by secret scars that only glow under his skin he lives with Fletcher, his mute golden retriever, and clings to the cryptic lullaby his grandmother left him. Out in the ruins roams Salvator Morgan, a man whose ageless eyes have seen the fall of empires and who whispers rumors of a “true child of prophecy.” When Ádin discovers the first fragment of a hidden map— he realizes he may hold the key to a long-lost salvation. But every step toward the truth draws the attention of the Children of the Stars, a fanatical cult whose young prophet will stop at nothing to claim destiny for himself. As the moon circles high and the ashes swirl, Ádin must decide: cling to everything he’s known, or embrace a perilous path that could either resurrect humanity… or consume him in the flames of betrayal. In a world where water is worship and every lie is branded in blood, survival means choosing whom to trust—and what you’re willing to burn.

To survive, he must face a world where great power is never granted without sacrifice. Can Kael endure the trials ahead and uncover the truth behind his parents’ disappearance?

Nach vier Jahren unserer arrangierten Ehe besaß ich neunundneunzig Casinos – eines für jedes Mal, das ich seine Untreue stillschweigend ertragen hatte. Vor Kurzem schloss er eine dreitägige "Geschäftsverhandlung" ab. Er brachte die Urkunde für ein neues Casino in Las Vegas mit – das 100. Geschenk. In diesem Moment wusste ich: Es war Zeit, die Scheidung einzureichen.
