   Les commandements du Faucheur : Tu tueras. Tu tueras sans aucun parti pris, sans sectarisme et sans préméditation. Tu accorderas une année d'immunité à la famille de ceux qui ont accepté ta venue. Tu tueras la famille de ceux qui t'ont résisté. " MidAmérique, milieu du 3e millénaire. Dans un monde où la maladie a été éradiquée, on ne peut plus guère mourir qu'en étant tué aléatoirement (" glané ") par un faucheur professionnel. Citra et Rowan sont deux adolescents qui ont été sélectionnés pour devenir apprentis-Faucheurs ; et, bien qu'ils aient cette vocation en horreur, ils vont devoir apprendre l'art de tuer et comprendre en quoi cette mission est bel et bien une nécessité. Mais seul l'un des deux adolescents sera choisi comme apprenti à part entière, et lorsqu'il devient clair que la première tâche du vainqueur sera de glaner la vie du perdant, Citra et Rowan se retrouvent dressés l'un contre l'autre bien malgré eux...

2. Thunderhead

   • Neal Shusterman

   Professional scythes control death. The Thunderhead controls everything else. It's a perfect system. Until it isn't. It's been a year since Rowan had gone off grid. Hunted by the Scythedom, he has become an urban legend, a vigilante snuffing out corrupt scythes in a trial by fire. Citra, meanwhile, is forging her path as Scythe Anastasia, gleaning with compassion and openly challenging the ideals of the 'new order'. But it is clear that not everyone is open to the change. Conflict amongst the scythes is growing, and when Citra's life is threatened, it becomes clear that there is a truly terrifying plot afoot. The Thunderhead observes everything, and it does not like what it sees. Will it intervene? Or will it simply watch as this perfect world begins to unravel?

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.
