Sharpe’s Triumph follows Sergeant Richard Sharpe, continuing his early army career in India, 1803 — after the events of Sharpe’s Tiger. Sharpe witnesses treachery by a renegade English officer who defects to the Mahratta Confederation. Determined to avenge his comrades and uphold his honour, Sharpe pursues him deep into enemy territory, through the siege of Ahmednuggur and ultimately to the Battle of Assaye — a pivotal and bloody conflict where Sir Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington) earns his reputation, and where Sharpe faces his greatest test yet. This novel blends vivid historical detail, intense combat, and Cornwell’s signature adventure narrative.
