In 1814, Sharpe joins an amphibious expedition against the French coastal fortress at Teste de Buch. The raid is intended to threaten Bordeaux and draw troops away from Wellington’s main advance, but its commander is more interested in glory than the mission’s practical risks. Cut off with a small force, Sharpe must hold the captured position, confront French counterattacks and find a way back to the army.
