Sergeant Richard Sharpe is the sole survivor of a murderous attack led by Major William Dodd, a cold-blooded English turncoat fighting for the mercenary forces of the Mahratta confederation. Determined to avenge the deaths of his comrades, Sharpe pursues the traitor deep into the heart of enemy territory, joining the army of Sir Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington, in the village of Assaye. For Sharpe will have his satisfaction as, outmanned and outgunned, he and Wellesleys men take on the ruthless Mahratta horde, charging courageously into the white heat of one of the greatest battles of its century.
