Captain Billy Pringle of the 106th Foot, having become embroiled in an ill-advised duel with a lieutenant in the 14th Light Dragoons has been posted to Spain to avoid any awkwardness for the regiment. Along with his friend Lieutenant Williams - whose sister Kitty was the cause of the duel - Pringle takes on the task of training Spanish troops to stand alongside their British allies. But what seems at first like easy duty soon turns into a desperate fight for survival as Bonaparte lays siege to the fortress.
