Synopsis
I DO NOT SPEAK WITH THE VOICE OF THE THUNDER. **BUT THE THUNDER DOES SPEAK THROUGH ME.** Citra and Rowan have disappeared. Endura is gone. It seems like nothing stands between Scythe Goddard and absolute dominion over the world scythedom. With the silence of the Thunderhead and the reverberations of the Great Resonance still shaking the earth to its core, the question remains: Is there anyone left who can stop him? The answer lies in the Tone, the Toll, and the Thunder. In the highly anticipated finale to the *New York Times* bestselling trilogy, dictators, prophets, and tensions rise. In a world that's conquered death, will humanity finally be torn asunder by the immortal beings it created? This description comes from the publisher. *The Toll* is the third book in the Arc of the Scythe series, the first of which is *Scythe*.
