Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Forlorn Hope is a 2019 fantasy novel by Stephan Grundy. Set in a world equivalent to the 16th century Holy Roman Empire, it focuses upon a company of Landsknechte - the infamous and flamboyant German mercenaries of the time. Specifically, it focuses upon a disenfranchised half-elf nobleman named Wolfram who has had a promising career in the Silver Eagle Landsknecht company, only to be framed for dereliction of duty and condemned to service in the Silver Eagle's Forlorn Hope: a squadron of criminals who are sent on what are essentially suicide missions.Wolfram's condemnation comes just as the Silver Eagle are hired to serve in a war between two feuding noblemen. Is the conspiracy against him part of some larger plan to undermine the war effort? And can he be sure of his own innocence when he comes from a breed of elves predisposed to violence and treachery? With only an apprentice mage willing to consider that he might be innocent, Wolfram sets out to figure out who betrayed him and why, all while trying to stay alive day by day in the harrowing den of cuthroats that is Forlorn Hope.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This work contains examples of the following tropes: | |

All There in the Manual: Fortunately the manual is included as an appendix at the end of the book, explaining many of the more confusing aspects of the intricate society Grundy creates, along with its various races and religions. | |

Armor Is Useless | |
| Forlorn Hope / int_638b65bc | comment |
Armor Is Useless: Averted but still played with on occasion. Being a nobleman's son, Wolfram bears a reasonably nice suit of plate armor and keeping it maintained is a constant preoccupation of his. It saves his life repeatedly in combat, but it dampens blows rather than nullfying them, and he still suffers pain and injury from blows that would have been fatal otherwise. At one point a blow to the head intended to kill him is thwarted by his helmet, but only because it wound up not being a direct hit. It still rings his bell hard enough to render him unconscious until the next day. | |
