Description
In the uneasy aftermath of Napoleon’s exile to Elba, the Emperor’s personal treasury vanishes, and Richard Sharpe—hero of the battlefield—finds himself accused of the theft. Condemned by a British military court, he escapes and is thrust into a desperate hunt for the truth, racing through shifting loyalties and hidden motives as Europe tries to settle into peace. From the streets and shadows of Toulouse to the pressure of a final, decisive engagement, Sharpe must outthink the enemy who framed him before the accusation becomes his execution. Blending Cornwell’s trademark grit and momentum with sharp historical detail, this installment explores honor under fire, the cost of survival, and how quickly victory can turn into betrayal.
