Sinopse

Captain Richard Sharpe must navigate a world of espionage and betrayal in Sharpe's Sword , a chapter in the Napoleonic Wars by the renowned Bernard Cornwell.

Richard Sharpe is at war again. But this time, his enemy is only one man: the cruel and ruthless Colonel Leroux. After being captured by Sharpe's company and escaping by outwitting the British soldiers, Leroux heads to Salamanca, where he hopes to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy army. Meanwhile, upon discovering the identity of his former captive, Sharpe is tasked with ensuring the safety of El Mirador, a spy whose network of agents is crucial to the British victory.

With this, Sharpe is forced to face a new kind of war, a completely new terrain in a world of political and military intrigue. And, in the unfamiliar environment of Spanish aristocratic society, his only allies are Lord Spears, a scout officer in the English forces with a penchant for gambling, and La Marquesa , a beautiful woman full of secrets.

Passions, revenge, and betrayal intersect in Sharpe's Sword . And Salamanca is not only the stage for a new confrontation between Napoleon and Wellington's forces. It is also where Captain Richard Sharpe must fight for his life in a mission far more personal than any other.

Soldier, hero, scoundrel, Sharpe is the man you always want by your side. Born into poverty, he joined the Army to escape prison and rose through the ranks through his courage. He knows no other family than the 95th Rifle Regiment, whose green jacket he wears with pride.

Sharpe's Sword is another intriguing and long-awaited chapter in The Adventures of a Soldier in the Napoleonic Wars .
