The Last Kingdom

Richard Sharpe, promu commandant dans l'armée de Wellington, conduit ses hommes dans le froid mordant des montagnes espagnoles avec un objectif : libérer des femmes de l'aristocratie prises en otages par une armée de déserteurs, composée de renégats français, espagnols ou encore britanniques, ayant investi la forteresse et le couvent d'Adrados. En même temps qu'il affronte cette troupe de pillards, parmi lesquels l'ignoble sergent anglais Obadiah Hakeswill, Sharpe doit protéger ses flancs contre les assauts des forces françaises. A la tête d'une simple compagnie, il peut cependant compter sur la géniale invention de sir William Congreve, une fusée explosive encore imprécise et dangereuse, mais capable d'influer sur le cours d'une bataille.

Grai Quest ; Tome 3: Heretic

La campagne de Vitoria, février à juin 1813. En ce printemps 1813, le commandant Richard Sharpe fonde de grands espoirs sur la nouvelle offensive militaire de l'armée britannique en Espagne. Mais la victoire finale repose sur la fragile alliance entre l'Espagne et la Grande-Bretagne, une alliance qui doit être maintenue à tout prix. Pierre Ducos, maître espion de Sa Majesté l'Empereur, va cependant tout mettre en oeuvre pour saborder les relations entre les deux pays et, parallèlement, se venger d'un terrible affront que Richard Sharpe lui a infligé par le passé. Sharpe, mis au ban de l'armée britannique, traqué par les partisans espagnols, pourchassé, par les Français, va devoir puiser dans ses dernières ressources pour dénouer les fils d'un incroyable complot susceptible d'entraîner la dislocation de l'alliance et de ternir à jamais son honneur. Il est encore loin d'imaginer que tous ces événements mèneront à l'une des batailles les plus étonnantes de la guerre de la Péninsule : la bataille de Vitoria.
