Description
In the closing months of the Peninsular War, Rifleman Major Richard Sharpe is pulled into a dangerous struggle where honor, survival, and ambition collide. As shifting alliances and brutal battlefield realities close in, Sharpe must navigate orders that test his conscience and confront enemies who refuse to play by any code but their own. Bernard Cornwell’s fast-moving, soldierly historical fiction brings the Napoleonic era to life through sharp tactical detail, hard choices, and the grit of men fighting for more than just victory. At its heart, this novel explores loyalty and moral courage under pressure—showing how “honour” can be both a guiding principle and a weapon in the hands of others.
