Thunderhead

The gripping continuation of the saga that began with "Scythe," a New York Times science fiction favorite, plunges readers back into a world where professional scythes dictate the end of life. Under the omnipresent authority of the Thunderhead, everything else is meticulously overseen, maintaining a flawless order—until cracks begin to show. A year has slipped by since Rowan vanished from the radar, becoming a spectral figure who takes justice into his own hands by eliminating corrupt scythes. His actions have elevated him to a legendary status, albeit a hunted one, within the Scythedom. Meanwhile, Citra, now known as Scythe Anastasia, is carving out her own destiny by executing her duties with a sense of mercy. Yet, internal strife within the Scythedom intensifies, and Citra finds herself in grave danger, revealing an ominous conspiracy at play. As these tensions rise, the Thunderhead, which witnesses all, grows increasingly uneasy with the turn of events. It remains uncertain whether it will choose to intervene or stay a passive observer as the foundations of this once-perfect world start to crumble.
