However, Rowan and Citra don’t want to be a scythe. Only one will become a scythe, while the other will return to their normal life. They’ll train for a year and take a test to determine if they will be deemed a scythe. Teenagers Citra and Rowan are selected by one scythe to be scythe apprentices. Scythes are the only individuals capable of killing, called “gleaning” in this world, and they only do it to keep the Earth’s population under control. You might be wondering about the obvious question: what about overpopulation? Well, that is why there are scythes in this fictional future.



This is the world that SCYTHE takes place in. There’s no need to worry about disease, accidents, or murder because death just isn’t possible anymore. Imagine a future where dying is no longer a problem.
