Rowan and Citra unexpectedly meet each other in an opera because they were going to be apprentices of Scythe Faraday. They come to live at Scythe Faraday's house. They watch some people be gleaned. In the conclave, Rowan and Citra both failed the one question exam. A scythe by the name of Goddard, who gleaned an entire airplane, suggested that whoever got the ring would glean the one who didn't. Scythe Faraday then gleaned himself to prevent this from happening...Or really? Citra is then taken in by Scythe Curie, and Rowan goes to Scythe Goddard. That's all I've read so far.
