![]() ![]() ![]() Citra has a strong connection with the Thunderhead, but if she becomes a scythe, all connections with the Thunderhead are cut. Well, I shouldn’t say “the entire” world as there are some people that are marked unsavory, some that choose to not abide by the AI (the tonists), and scythes cannot communicate with the Thunderhead. Not mentioned in the blurb is that the entire world is ran by something called The Thunderhead. The first book has you pulling for both protagonists and the whole scythedome as you learn that even in a perfect world, there are still greedy, corrupt people. Citra and Rowan don’t really want to be scythes, but it is an apprenticeship they simply cannot turn down. Scythe is the first novel in the Arc of the Scythe trilogy and it became a favorite read immediately! Honorable Scythe Faraday takes two apprentices under his training, something that has never been done before.

He died in 1928 at Max Gate, a house he built for himself and his first wife, Emma Lavinia Gifford, in Dorchester, a few miles from his birthplace. One of the most renowned poets and novelists in English literary history, Thomas Hardy was born in 1840 in the English village of Higher Bockhampton in the county of Dorset. ![]() ![]() Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel.
