Richard Sharpe and the Destruction of Almeida, August 1810

Richard Sharpe is delighted when, after long months of patrolling duties, he and his regiment are summoned north by Wellington. But his new mission is desperate and dangerous; to go behind enemy lines to recover the gold, vital to the success of the war.

The treasure is in the posession of a powerful guerrilla a leader, feared by ally and enemy alike. And he has a particular reason not to co-operate with Sharpe - the man who has stolen his woman.
