Description
In a world where death has been eradicated, a new role emerges to maintain the balance of humanity. Scythes are tasked with ending life to control population size, and two teens, Citra and Rowan, are chosen to apprentice to one. As they learn the "art" of taking life, these teenagers must navigate the complexities of their new role, knowing that failure could result in their own demise. With each passing day, they grapple with the moral implications of their actions, all while trying to survive in a world where death is no longer an option. A thought-provoking and suspenseful novel, Scythe explores the consequences of a perfect world and the true cost of its existence.
