Title: Under siege
Description: "In the wake of the resounding victory at the Battle of Oudenarde, Captain Daniel Rawson must take a leading role in the Allies' new strategy - to strike deeper into Lille, the 'pearl of fortresses'. While the dashing Eugene, Prince of Savoy, is put in command of the siege, Daniel is sent to steal vital plans from inside the Lille. Only partially successful, he has to return to the city to rescue his accomplice. As the weather worsens and Lille's famed defences appear to be holding, Daniel has to fight against one of his own allies, dwindling supplies and weakening morale."--Publisher description.
