About this programme
Sean Bean stars as Bernard Cornwell's swashbuckling hero in a story set a year after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. Warned of a threat to British interests in India, Wellington sends Sharpe to investigate, in what turns out to be his most dangerous mission to date. The fate of an Empire and the life of a general's daughter lie in the former rifleman's hands.
