As they grapple with their newfound responsibilities, they are forced to confront their ideals and the ethical dilemmas surrounding their actions.

Amid political intrigue and a struggle for power among the scythes, Citra and Rowan’s journey leads them to question the very nature of mortality and what it means to truly live.
