Everything lies ahead of Becky and Amelia as they bid farewell to Miss Pinkerton's Academy. But will everything be enough for Becky Sharp?

Becky has failed to ensnare Amelia's wealthy brother Jos. Undaunted, she now sets her sights on new targets.

Becky has refused Sir Pitt's hand in marriage because she has already married in secret. But to whom?

The newly-wed Amelia has accompanied her husband to war. Becky is there too, but for her the Duchess of Richmond's ball is a far more important battleground than the field of Waterloo.

Widow and Mother Amelia's life is in tatters after the Battle of Waterloo, but Becky Sharp is already planning a new campaign.

Sharp practice is needed when Becky pits her wits against the wiles of the landed gentry and the might of the aristocracy.
