Description

In a world where death has been eradicated, the scythes are left to carry out the final act. This gripping novel explores the complexities of life and mortality through the eyes of two teenagers chosen to apprentice to a scythe. Citra and Rowan must master the art of taking life, but neither wants this role. With the consequence of failure being loss of their own lives, they embark on a journey to learn the "art" of killing. As they navigate this treacherous path, they uncover the heavy price that comes with a perfect world. A thrilling new series from Neal Shusterman, Scythe is a thought-provoking tale of mortality, morality and the true cost of a utopian society.
