Yes, in Neal Shusterman's Scythe, Rowan intentionally breaks Citra's neck during their final apprenticeship test to force a disqualification, preventing either from having to glean the other and allowing Citra to live so she can potentially win the Scythedom later, though she's revived. He does this after realizing Citra, who also tried to lose, wouldn't let him fail, so he took drastic action to end the fight on his terms.

Is scythe appropriate for a 12 year old?

Scythe by Neal Shusterman is generally considered appropriate for mature 12-year-olds, but it's a borderline case due to its intense themes and violence, with many recommending ages 13-15+, so parental discretion is key, especially if a child is sensitive to graphic death, moral ambiguity, and deep philosophical concepts. While it's a thought-provoking YA dystopian novel with great characters and world-building, it features vivid descriptions of murder and explores mature topics, making it best for older tweens or young teens ready for complex subjects.
