Five years after the Battle of Waterloo, Sharpe's peaceful retirement in Normandy is shattered.

Sharpe, along with Patrick Harper, find themselves bound for Chile via St. Helena, where they have a fateful meeting with the fallen Emperor Napoleon. Convinced that they are on their way to collect a corpse, neither man can imagine that dangers that await them in Chile... Soldier, hero, rogue – Sharpe is the man you always want on your side.
