Scythe, Volume 1 - Neal Shusterman

nTwo teens must learn the art of killing in this Printz Honor-winning book, the first in a chilling new series from Neal Shusterman, author of the New York Times bestselling Unwind dystology. nA world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery: humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now Scythes are the only ones who can end life--and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control. n nCitra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe--a role that neither wants. These teens must master the art of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own. n nScythe is the first novel of a thrilling new series by National Book Award-winning author Neal Shusterman in which Citra and Rowan learn that a perfect world comes only with a heavy price.n
