**Richard Sharpe returns to the battlefields of the Iberian Peninsula,
where he and his men bravely fight the French invasion into Portugal in
1809. The world-renowned Sharpe series is now available with gorgeous

A few years after Richard Sharpe's heroic exploits on the battlefields
of Trafalgar, Sharpe finds himself once again in Portugal, fighting the
savage armies of Napoleon Bonaparte, as they try to bring the whole of
the Iberian Peninsula under their control. Travelling with a small
British contingent, Sharpe is on the lookout for Kate Savage, the
daughter of an English wine shipper, who has gone missing a few months
before. But just as he follows the first leads to the missing girl, the
French onslaught on Portugal begins and the city of Oporto becomes a
bloody scene of carnage and disaster as it falls into the hands of the
enemy.
