After saving the life of Sir Arthur Wellesley Sgt Richard Sharpe is rewarded with the field commission of Lieutenant. His first mission is to go behind enemy lines to Casa Antiga to locate a missing agent James Rothschild who carries a banker's draft for badly needed funds for the British army. Sharpe is given command of the 95th Rifles under Capt Murray but soon finds that they are an undisciplined bunch and neither Murray nor the men of the Rifles are prepared to accept Sharpe's command as 'proper' officers are not raised from the ranks. After Captain Murray... is killed in a surprise French attack Sharpe is left in sole command. Two Spanish allies Major Blas Vivar and Comandante Teresa offer to lead Sharpe to Casa Antiga and he reluctantly agrees. At Casa Antiga there is no sign of Rothschild and Sharpe becomes increasingly suspicious of his Spanish companions...only to discover that the real mission is to transport a holy relic of Spain to Torrecastro to inspire an uprising against the French.
