Sharpe's Triumph Richard Sharpe and the Battle of Assaye, September 1803

India, 1803. Sergeant Richard Sharpe witnesses a murderous act of treachery by an English officer who has defected from the East India Company to join the mercenary army of the Mahratta Confederation. In the hunt for the renegade Englishman, Sharpe plunges deep into enemy territory. He is relentlessly stalked by his worst enemy, Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill. The path of treachery leads to the small village of Assaye where Sir Arthur Wellesley, with a tiny British army, faces the Mahratta horde. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wellesley decides to fight, and Sharpe is plunged into the white heat of the Battle of Assaye, a battle that will make Wellesley's reputation and may also be the making of Sharpe's name, if he can survive the carnage.
