Description
As Napoleon’s forces surge through Portugal in 1810, Sharpe finds himself at the heart of a desperate campaign—fighting from the great ridge of Bussaco, where British and Portuguese troops face Marshal Massena’s overwhelming strength. When the retreat turns into a test of endurance and nerve, Sharpe must navigate shifting alliances, brutal engagements, and the thin line between survival and capture. With each hard-won step toward the fortified Lines of Torres Vedras, the stakes rise for the men who hold the line and the cause they serve. Blending Cornwell’s fast-paced, battlefield-driven storytelling with vivid historical detail, this installment explores courage under pressure, the cost of command, and the relentless momentum of war.
