Welcome to the world of Wilting Blood

It has been forty long years since the vampiric Blutsaugers first appeared in the land of Fallende and conquered its heart.
Since that dark day, the nation endured a constant state of war. Generation after generation of Fallendeans have joined the Blut Hunter Legions to fight for their survival and way of life.
Now, a young boy named Isaac Schwarzschild is poised to join them. Two paths stand before him: Become fodder on the frontlines as a human shield for a Hunter, or be one of the few lucky enough to be spared the horrors of war for just a bit longer when picked as a Blut Hunter apprentice.
Which will he choose?
Neither, the choice isn’t his to make.
