Summary from Goodreads:
Thrust into a world of men, can a timid girl find
bravery as the first female Death?
Thirteen-year-old Suzie Sarnio always believed the Grim Reaper was a fairy tale
image of a skeleton with a scythe. Now, forced to enter the College of Deaths,
she finds herself training to bring souls from the Living World to the
Hereafter. The task is demanding enough, but as the only female in the all-male
College, she quickly becomes a target. Attacked by both classmates and
strangers, Suzie is alone in a world where even her teachers want her to fail.
Scythes hungry for souls, Deaths who subjugate a race of mysterious magicians,
and echoes of an ancient war with Dragons.
As her year progresses, Suzie suspects her presence isn't an accident. She
uncovers a plot to overthrow the World of Deaths. Now she must also discover
the reason she's been brought there: the first female Death in a million years.
