In the blood-soaked shadows of the Napoleonic Wars, one man stands between victory and ruin.
Captain Richard Sharpe—outsider, rogue, and hero—is dispatched on a secret mission behind enemy lines. His objective: defend a quiet Spanish village perched above the strategic Almaraz bridge. If French forces converge there, the British campaign could collapse.
Outnumbered and cut off, Sharpe and his small band of loyal soldiers must hold the line with nothing but grit, cunning, and unrelenting resolve. But as traitors lurk in plain sight and two French armies march ever closer, the impossible becomes the only option.
Sharpe’s Assassin is Bernard Cornwell at his best—an electrifying blend of history, heroism, and relentless action. Perfect for fans of epic military fiction and legendary warriors who never back down.
