In "The Scourge" by Jennifer A. Nielsen, the story is set in a world plagued by a deadly disease known as the Scourge. The protagonist, a girl named Ani, is one of the few who survives the illness but is still feared and marginalized by society. When her best friend is mistakenly accused of a crime, Ani must navigate a treacherous landscape filled with political intrigue and danger to clear his name. As she uncovers dark secrets about the true nature of the Scourge, Ani discovers her own strength and the power of friendship in the face of oppression.
