The Battle of Waterloo is over, but Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Sharpe's war continues. Wellington summons the battle-hardened soldier for a dangerous mission in Paris. Napoleon's defeat has spawned a new threat: fanatical revolutionaries plotting revenge from the shadows of the French capital. Sharpe must navigate the treacherous streets of Paris, where allies and enemies wear the same faces. His target is a spy embedded among the conspirators, but standing between Sharpe and success is a deadly assassin who will kill or die for the cause. Born in poverty and forged by twenty-one years of military service, Sharpe has built his reputation on unconventional tactics and sheer determination. Now he faces his most perilous assignment yet, hunting enemies who know the city's maze-like streets as well as he knows the battlefield. In Paris, the rules of engagement have changed, but Sharpe's mission remains clear: find the spy before the assassin completes their lethal work.
