From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the twelth installment in the world-renowned Sharpe series, chronicling the rise of Richard Sharpe, a Private in His Majesty’s Army at the siege of Seringapatam.

Quartered in a crumbling Portuguese fort, Richard Sharpe and his men are attacked by an elite French unit, led by an old enemy of Sharpe’s, and suffer heavy losses.

The army’s high command blame Sharpe for the disaster and his military career seems to be ruined. His only hope is to redeem himself on the battlefield. So with his honour at stake, against an overwhelming number of French troops, Sharpe leads his men to battle in the narrow streets of Fuentes de Oñoro.

An emotional rollercoaster of a book. Sharpe takes you through every emotion a soldier could endure during such a trying dark time. His inner battle and his battle with his foe going toe to toe makes an intriguing classic!

Lots of action. Well written. The personal story of Sharp within the larger historical context of the wars between Britain and France fought all over Spain and Portugal just draws you in.
