Description

Lieutenant Richard Sharpe and his detachment of riflemen are cut off from their army and surrounded by a strong French force. Their only hope of escape is to accept help from the Spanish, but this assistance comes at a cost: they must join an assault on a holy city held by the enemy. Sharpe is a soldier who knows no other family than his regiment, the 95th Rifles. He has risen through the ranks by sheer courage and brutal determination. This is a story of Sharpe's bravery and cunning as he faces a difficult decision that will test his loyalty and resolve. Born in poverty, Sharpe joined the army to escape jail and has become a hero and a rogue, known for his unwavering commitment to his comrades and his unshakeable sense of justice.
