Thunderhead: Arc of a Scythe

Thunderhead: Arc of a Scythe

by Neal Shusterman (Author)

Rowan and Citra take opposite stances on the morality of the Scythedom, putting them at odds, in the chilling sequel to the Printz Honor Book Scythe from New York Times best seller Neal Shusterman, author of the Unwind dystology. The Thunderhead cannot interfere in the affairs of the Scythedom. All it can do is observe — it does not like what it sees. A year has passed since Rowan had gone off grid. Since then, he has become an urban legend, a vigilante snuffing out corrupt scythes in a trial by fire. His story is told in whispers across the continent. As Scythe Anastasia, Citra gleans with compassion and openly challenges the ideals of the new order. But when her life is threatened and her methods questioned, it becomes clear that not everyone is open to the change. Will the Thunderhead intervene? Or will it simply watch as this perfect world begins to unravel?

In the captivating sequel to "Scythe," Neal Shusterman weaves a thrilling tale of rebellion and self-discovery in a dystopian world where death is controlled by a select group of individuals known as Scythes.

Rowan and Citra, once Scythe apprentices, find themselves on opposite sides of a brewing revolution. Rowan, now a full-fledged Scythe, struggles with the moral weight of his duty, questioning the justification of the Scythedom's actions.

Meanwhile, Citra joins forces with a group of rebels led by the enigmatic Thunderhead, an advanced artificial intelligence, in an attempt to dismantle the Scythedom and establish a society free from fear and oppression.

"Thunderhead" explores themes of power, justice, and the consequences of unchecked authority. Shusterman creates a vivid and immersive world where technology and human nature collide, leaving readers questioning the boundaries of life and death.

With its compelling characters, thought-provoking themes, and intricate plot, "Thunderhead" is a must-read for fans of dystopian fiction and anyone seeking a story that challenges their perception of reality.
