YES!!!Īs a final scythe test, Citra and Rowan have to kill their families (including Citra’s brother Ben), who are then revived. Rowan uses that opportunity to decapitate Scythe Goddard and burn everything to the ground. Goddard arranges a massacre at Tonist Monetary. This creates a brilliant loophole, and the Thunderhead is able to communicate with Citra while she’s deadish! The Thunderhead gives Citra a clue that allows her to discover that Scythe Faraday isn’t dead-he’s in hiding. Xenocrates accuses Citra of murdering Faraday (she’s like, what even is murder?) and rather than be imprisoned, she makes an epic splat. Rowan learns that High Blade Xenocrates has a daughter and Goddard is blackmailing him over it. Citra is winning at losing so Rowan snaps Citra’s neck and they’re both disqualified and neither wins and both get to live a bit longer!
Rude.Ĭitra & Rowan are reunited at the Harvest Conclave but when they’re forced to fight, they both try to lose because they like each other too much. The scythes declare that only one of Faraday’s apprentices can be a scythe and plans to pit them against each other. Goddard “trains” aka tortures Rowan with the help of his evil crew. The dream team is broken up and Citra is apprenticed to Scythe Curie (we stan the Grandame of Death – Curie is infamous for gleaning the last figureheads of mortal rule) and Rowan is apprenticed to Scythe Goddard (who is the actual WORST). The Thunderhead, a powerful AI, runs everything else and “the separation of Scythe and Thunderhead” keeps those powers “balanced.”Ĭitra and Rowan are apprenticed to Scythe Faraday and things are going well until Faraday self-gleans (or did he? scythes can only die by self-gleaning, or if their bodies are physically destroyed). “Thou Shalt Kill” is the #1 Scythe commandment because humanity has conquered death and scythes are the only ones who can end life. Now go read them, they’re great!!
