Humanity has conquered death. No hunger, no disease, no war. Immortality is reality, and only one force remains to keep balance: the Scythes. They decide who lives, who dies, and how to keep the world from collapsing under its own perfection.
Citra and Rowan never wanted this power, but they are chosen as apprentices to a Scythe. Their training demands they master the art of killing, even as it tests their morality, courage, and loyalty. The price of failure is death, and the cost of success may be worse.
As they navigate a world where compassion collides with cruelty, the teens learn that power is never clean.
In a flawless society, what happens when the Scythes themselves are corrupted?
