內容簡介
戰勝病毒與老化後,人類卻面臨了長生不死後的人口爆炸。為了解決人口問題,刈鐮組織相應而生。刈鐮有權賦與人們死亡,並遵照嚴格的戒律執行,擁有崇高地位。然而被選中成為刈鐮見習生的席翠拉和洛文,卻都不想踏入這行當死亡使者。
他們的導師說,最不願意殺人的人才應該入行。他們開始學習各種殺人技藝。但刈鐮組織的權力衝突波及到了這兩個年輕見習生,讓他們陷入只允許一個人活命的生死鬥。
 
A 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.
Citra 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.
Scythe 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.
