In the turmoil of a fractured France, a weary knight and his old friend ride through autumn woods, their thoughts heavy with the loss of chivalry and the looming English threat. As they discuss the kingdom’s despair, a hushed voice rises with a tale of a strange, unforgettable vision that has haunted the speaker for months. The narrative invites listeners into the tense atmosphere of 15th‑century France, where hope feels as distant as the fading light through golden leaves.
Through the eyes of Jean de Novelpont, the story offers a vivid portrait of a nation on the brink, while hinting at the emergence of a mysterious young woman whose name will soon stir the hearts of soldiers and common folk alike. Listeners will feel the weight of loyalty, the yearning for a miracle, and the quiet anticipation that precedes a legend’s first steps. This opening sets the stage for an unforgettable journey into courage, faith, and the birth of a heroine.
