The first part of an exciting new book series by Neal Shusterman, author of the reader's hit Scythe. In a future world, humanity has triumphed over disease, aging, and ultimately e ven death. No one dies, and Earth faces overpopulation. The only ones who can end life are the "Scythes." Two young people, Citra and Rowan, are chosen to become apprentices in this craft – a role neither of them desires. They must master the "art" of taking life, while keeping in mind that if they fail, they could lose their own lives. Circumstances pit them against each other, and it soon becomes clear that if one of them wins, the other must die... A perfect world comes at a high price. Show more
