The Sabre's Edge (Matthew Hervey, Book 5)

The most exciting adventure yet for Matthew Hervey and the Sixth Light Dragoons.
1824. The Sixth Light Dragoons are still stationed in India and the talk in the officerâ€™s mess is of war. The Burmese are encroaching on Company land and skirmishes are common on Indiaâ€™s borders. Meanwhile, across the country in Bhurtpoor the succession to the Raj has been usurped. The rightful claimant Balwant Sing has been forced from the throne by the war-mongering Durjan Sal. The conflict looks set to flair up into bloody conflict, taking the surrounding provinces with it. With the threat of war on two fronts the British troops must intercede. The trial ahead will test Hervey and his newly blooded troop to their very limits, for Durjan Sal has taken refuge in the infamous Bhurtpoorâ€•a fortress surrounded by a deep moat almost five miles in perimeter, with thirty-five turreted bastions and the Tower of Victory built with the skulls of Lord Lakesâ€™ defeated men. Hervey can be sure of one thing: the siege of Bhurtpoor will be hot and bloody work. Once again, the fortunes of Matthew Hervey and his courageous troop will be decided by the sabreâ€™s edge.
