Richard Sharpe and the siege of Badejoz.
During the British Army's assault on Ciudad Rodrigo, Sharpe's commander and friend, Colonel William Lawford, is severely wounded, losing an arm when a mine blows. He retires from his post as commander of the South Essex regiment. Sharpe is devastated, not only at the loss of a friend, but also by the fact that his captaincy is up for sale, and without Lawford to champion him, he is very likely to lose command of his company. The situation only gets worse when his old enemy, Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill, joins the company with Lawford's replacement, Colonel Windham, who also brings Captain Rymer, who has purchased a captaincy and is given command of Sharpe's company.
Meanwhile, Teresa Moreno arrives, informing Sharpe that she has given birth to his daughter, Antonia, and that she is living in Badajoz. Sharpe promises Teresa that he will protect her when the British army attacks the city. He is also reunited with his former Lieutenant, Robert Knowles, who is now a captain of a fusilier company. Knowles also vows to protect Teresa.
The character of Obadiah Hakeswill is introduced in this novel and goes on to appear in Sharpe's Enemy as well as a 'prequel' trilogy set during Sharpe's time in India. Cornwell described Hakeswill as his "favourite villain".
It is in this novel that Harper meets his future wife, Isabella.
