A thrilling and terrifying collection of stories from the world of Scythe – the New York Times bestseller and a Time Magazine Best YA Book of All Time.

"A true successor to The Hunger Games" Maggie Stiefvater, bestselling author of Shiver and The Raven Boys, on Scythe.

Storylines continue. Origin stories are revealed. And new Scythes emerge...

There are still countless tales of the Scythedom to tell. Centuries passed between the Thunderhead cradling humanity and Scythe Goddard trying to turn it upside down. For years, humans lived in a world without hunger, disease, or death, with Scythes as the living instruments of population control.

Neal Shusterman – along with collaborators David Yoon, Jarrod Shusterman, Sofía Lapuente, Michael H. Payne, Michelle Knowlden, and Joelle Shusterman – returns to the world throughout the timeline of the Arc of a Scythe series. Discover secrets and histories of characters you’ve followed for three volumes and meet new heroes, new foes, and some figures in between.

The Arc of a Scythe series is globally bestselling, award-winning and perfect for fans of Susanne Collins, Pierce Brown and Marie Lu.
