Shedding light on the political, religious, and military atmosphere of medieval France, the story combines historical fact with speculative inner dialogue that makes Joan more human and accessible to modern readers. From the childhood visions of Saint Michael that set her on her path, to her rise as an inspiring military leader and adviser to King Charles VII, to her downfall, trial, and execution, the book recounts the rousing and dramatic tale of the life of the "Maid of Orleans" and her lasting legacy.
