Lieutenant Colonel Richard Sharpe comes out of retirement to find his friend Don Blas Vivar, Captain-General of the Spanish colony of Chile.

British captain Richard Sharpe must lead untrained, unequipped ceremonial troops in a fight to the death when his old foe, French Brigadier General Guy Loup, attacks him while he heads a battalion of the king of Spain's household guard.

Richard Sharpe, newly promoted for his skill in assisting Sir Arthur Wellesley in the battle against the Mahratta, risks his honor, reputation, and fortune in his quest to thwart a treasonous scheme devised by his oldest nemesis Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill.
