It's 1814, and the war against Bonaparte rages to its bloody end upon the field of Waterloo. Cornet Matthew Hervey, of the 6th Light Dragoons, suddenly finds himself allotted a hero's role which will change the course of his life, and possibly the outcome of Waterloo...

The year is 1817, and Captain Hervey has returned from India to an England in turmoil. The clamour for parliamentary and economic reform is bringing the country close to revolution. In the 6th Light Dragoons, things look grim, as Hervey and his new commanding officer are on a collision course.
