Suspense, Anti-heroism, and a Dash of Gruel.1791. Switzerland. Revolution roars at the borders. A fragile Confederacy trembles. Somewhere between the Alps and anarchy, a nameless fugitive races for his life - clutching a scroll that could stop it all.There’s just one problem: a blow to the head erases his past, his purpose... and possibly his common sense. Now without his memory, our hero is convinced of one thing alone: he is a man of consequence, taste, and decidedly better breeding than his current company. And so, outwitted by peasants, undone by fowl, and pursued by enemies he can’t even recall, he stumbles through a farce of mistaken identities, absurd intrigues, muddy battlefields, and the occasional duel to survive.Yet, with a nation sitting on a powder keg, and his amnesia a ticking clock, the questions only multiply: Will he recall who he is before it’s too late? Or will Switzerland fall? Is he the traitor everyone seeks? Or simply history’s hapless fool?Vain, blundering, bold, and probably the most WANTED man in the Confederacy, he might - just might - change the course of history... if he doesn’t make matters worse.'In vain doth valour bleed...' - MiltonFor fans of rich historical, picaresque adventure served with the sharp wit and chaotic farce of the literary classics.
