Two years after the Duke of Wellington crushes Napoleon at Waterloo, dispatches from India tell of a local Maharaja, Khande Rao, who is threatening British interests there. Wellington sends Sharpe to investigate on what turns out to be his most dangerous mission to date. When a beautiful general's daughter is kidnapped by the Indian warlord, the tension mounts, leaving Sharpe no option but to pursue the enemy right into its deadly lair. Deep in the heart of enemy territory he also has to keep at bay the beautiful but scheming Regent, Madhuvanthi, who is out to seduce him. The fate of an Empire and the life of a General's daughter lie in one man's hands...

Quotes:

Richard Sharpe: You want me to go back to India?

William Dodd: Your army, is going to be utterly destroyed!

Richard Sharpe: I thought you were dead Pat::Patrick Harper: I can't be watching your arse if I'm dead now, can I?

Patrick Harper: [points his volley gun at Bickerstaff] Say hello to Mr Nock [pulls trigger]

Madhuvanthi: [to Dodd] And after you have made the plain run red with English blood, once you have ground them into the dirt, what then, my love?

Davi Lal: [Sharpe is asking him to steal from two merchants] But that would be stealing sahib. How am I to be a good British soldier if you make me into a thief again?::Richard Sharpe: It isn't thieving when you're hungry, Davi. That's the first thing any soldier learns. Now go on.

Richard Sharpe: It's a poor bloody spot for a tea party, Captain. Bandit country, and that one picket horse along the track, might call that reckless.

General Sir Henry Simmerson: You should be wary of this one, McRae. He thinks because Wellington raised him up from the sewer that it somehow makes him a gentleman. Don't know your place, do you Sharpie?::Richard Sharpe: Maybe not, but I know how to stand before a French column. I know how to face fire without soiling my breeches and turning tail.

Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: Easy to be brave, with rank and new sunlight behind ye. I hope you sleep light Colonel, lest you find some morning you wake up to find your throat slit!::Richard Sharpe: Is that a threat Sergeant?::Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: Take it as ye please.::Richard Sharpe: Oh I do. So come on, let's sort it out now, just you and me.::Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: [laughs] I weren't born yesterday neither, Colonel. 'Tis a hanging offense to strike an officer!::Richard Sharpe: But like you said, I'm not a company officer.::Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: All the same, I will not hit a man wearing the King's Uniform.::Richard Sharpe: No? Well that's easily remedied. [starts unbuttoning his uniform]

Patrick Harper: [enemy cavalry have captured him and Sharpe in their land] It's about time!
