Arc of a Scythe Series

The Arc of a Scythe is a chilling YA dystopian series by National Book Award-winning author, Neal Shusterman.

The books are set in a world without hunger, disease or war, in a future where humanity has even conquered death. The Scythes are the only ones who can end a life and are tasked with controlling the size of the population.

But for Citra and Rowan - two teens apprenticed to be scythes against their will - this perfect world comes with a heavy price, as they have to master the art of killing. Only one will be chosen as the Scythe, and the other will face execution from his or her opponent.

The Arc of a Scythe series is a thought-provoking, dark, but witty thriller trilogy, suited to readers 13+ and should be read in order, starting with book one
