In the heart of war-torn Spain during the Napoleonic era, Lieutenant Richard Sharpe assumes command of the 95th Rifles, a demoralized and skeptical group of soldiers
It's 1809, and Napoleon's army is sweeping across Spain. Tasked with leading his men to safety through treacherous enemy territory, Lieutenant Richard Sharpe faces an arduous journey through the mountains. This immersive exploration of loyalty, valor, and the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who shaped history is the first in an action-packed series that captures the gritty texture of Napoleonic warfare.
