About Scythe
In a future that has conquered hunger, disease, war, misery, and death, population control belongs to revered killers called Scythes. Citra and Rowan are chosen as apprentices despite wanting no part of the role, and their training forces them to confront the cost of perfection and the possibility that only one of them may survive.
