Scythe (Arc Of A Scythe)

Thou Shalt Kill

A WORLD WITH NO HUNGER.
NO DISEASE.
NO WAR.
NO MISERY.

Humanity has conquered all those things, and even conquered death. Now scythes are the only ones who can end life---and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control.

Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe---a role that neither wants. These teens must master the "art" of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own.

Scythe is the debut of a thrilling new series by National Book Award-winning author Neal Shusterman in which Citra and Rowan learn that a perfect world comes only with a heavy price.
