Sinopse

Get ready for another incredible adventure of Richard Sharpe in Sharpe's Prey, the fifth volume of the series The Adventures of a Soldier in the Napoleonic Wars , with more than 90 thousand copies sold in Brazil.

Back in England, after successful missions in India and Spain, Sharpe's career seems to be coming to an end. Far from his beloved Lady Grace and relegated to the post of quartermaster, Sharpe is given a risky assignment: to accompany John Lavisser, a noble officer who is going to Copenhagen to bribe the Danish Crown Prince and thereby prevent a new war.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the Danes possessed a gigantic merchant fleet, protected by an unbeatable navy. Ships arrived and departed nonstop at the port of Copenhagen, a rate second only to that of English ports. In 1807, Napoleon decided to advance his ships to the Danish coast to seize the entire Danish navy, replacing the ships lost off the Spanish coast in October 1805. In a swift response, England launched an attack on France.

Richard Sharpe is ordered to protect Lavisser against French agents stationed throughout Copenhagen. It's a fierce behind-the-scenes war, where spies and sheer brutality are common currency. And in this terrible scenario, Sharpe is a pawn destined for sacrifice. But sometimes pawns can change the game.

When Sharpe discovers a traitor in his midst, he creates his own rules, launching himself into a fierce fight to stay alive.
