Fallout:Blood and the Bull

Konrad von Falkenstein, the youngest son of a noble house, bears the Blessing of the Scholar—a gift of intellect and insight deemed useless in a world ruled by swords and brute strength. Overshadowed by his warrior brothers and scorned by his father, Konrad’s future seems doomed to the margins of a violent and unforgiving land. Everything changes when an ancient text, discovered in a cursed dungeon, grants him a window into the life of one of history’s greatest strategists. By reliving the memories and brilliance of this legendary figure, Konrad gains unparalleled tactical prowess and a renewed sense of purpose. For the first time, he glimpses the possibility of forging a destiny beyond his family’s expectations. But the book is just the beginning. Hidden among ruins and dungeons are more relics of the past, each containing the knowledge and essence of legendary leaders, inventors, and visionaries. As Konrad uncovers them, his mind sharpens, and his ambition grows. However, with every text he absorbs, the weight of these ancient lives threatens to blur the line between who he is and who they were.
