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。
Citra and Rowan have disappeared. Endura is gone. It seems like nothing stands between Scythe Goddard and absolute dominion over the world scythedom. With the silence of the Thunderhead and the reverberations of the Great Resonance still shaking the earth to its core, the question remains: Is there anyone left who can stop him?
The answer lies in the Tone, the Toll, and the Thunder.
