It is the bitter winter of 1809. Britain's forces are retreating towards Corunna, with Napoleon's victorious
armies in pursuit. Lieutenant Richard Sharpe and a detachment of Riflemen are cut off from the British army
and surrounded by enemy troops.
Their only hope of escape is to accept the help of a Spanish cavalry officer but his assistance comes at a price: to join the assault on the holy city of Santiago de Compostela, held by a strong French force. Only Sharpe can snatch victory from clear disaster.
