Most of the book deals with the British assault on the impregnable fortress of Gawilghur in India. Along with overcoming familiar foes: Obadiah Hawkeswill, Major Dodd and Major Morris. It also covers newly commissioned Ensign Richard Sharpe coming to terms with a difficult transition from soldier to commissioned officer.

The Indian trilogy wraps up brilliantly. If you have read the series, you'll know what to expect by now. There is a brief love interest, corrupt officers, and Sharpe single handily capturing an impregnable fortress.
