With violence brewing in the aftermath of Waterloo, and a secretive group of revolutionaries hell-bent on avenging Napoleon’s defeat, Sharpe is called to the front line: the maze of Paris streets where lines blur between friend and foe. And in search of a spy, he must defeat a lethal assassin determined to destroy his target, or die trying . . .
