Description
Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythe's apprentices, and-despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation-they must learn the art of killing and come to understand the necessity of what they do. Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe's apprentice. And when it becomes clear that the winning apprentice's first task will be to glean the loser, Citra and Rowan are pitted against one another in a fight for their lives.
