Arc of a Scythe Series 4 Books Set by Neal Shusterman (Paperback)

In a future where humanity has conquered hunger, disease and even ageing, only death remains a choice — and that choice lies in the hands of the Scythes. In the “Arc of a Scythe” series, two teens — Citra Terranova and Rowan Damisch — are selected as apprentices to the Scythedom. They learn the grim art of gleaning life, while the world they thought perfect reveals cracks of corruption, ambition and power.

As the Thunderhead oversees everything and the Scythes’ authority grows unchecked, Citra and Rowan’s paths diverge. They face moral dilemmas, unexpected alliances and the weight of lives in balance. With the stakes climbing in each volume, the series explores what it means to hold power over life and death, and what happens when the system itself becomes the enemy.

This collection brings together four powerful stories — beginning with the introduction of the Scythedom and building to sweeping conflict, philosophical questions and high‑stakes action. Readers who crave speculative fiction with sharp ideas, intense characters and a world turned upside down will find this set compelling. Prepare for a ride that questions immortality, justice and the cost of control.
