Arc of a Scythe

Arc of a Scythe (13+ - teen) by Neal Shusterman

Scythe (Book 1)

Citra and Rowan have been chosen as scythe apprentices, to learn the art of killing respectfully. As the embodiments of death in a near-deathless world, they are both feared and revered. They’ll have to manage the moral implications of their potential job, without the help of the near all knowing AI, the Thunderhead, that rules the world, since the Thunderhead can’t interfere in scythe business. Join them, as they manage their sanity with killing others, and fight against a scythe that’s trying to revolutionize the industry, with violence.

The Thunderhead (Book 2)

Saddened by the events of the first book, the Thunderhead wants to help fix things. He pulls Greyson Tolliver out of his life, and establishes him as the leader of the Tonists, a profet. Meanwhile, scythes Lucifer and Anastasia go about their lives, unsure of if or when they’ll meet again.

The Toll (Book 3)

Unearthed from the depths of Endura, Citra and Rowan are separated again, and must now garner support from world scythedoms to combat Goddard, and save the world. Meanwhile, Greyson spreads the word of the Thunderhead to a world that has lost it.
