Set against the backdrop of a France torn by war and political intrigue, this vivid retelling follows a humble shepherd's daughter from the tiny village of Domremy. From an early age she hears a voice urging her toward a destiny far beyond the fields she tends, and her fierce faith and determination set her apart from peers. The narrative weaves together the stark realities of daily medieval life with the extraordinary visions that propel her forward.
By her teenage years she steps onto the battlefield, astonishing seasoned commanders with an uncanny ability to rally troops and inspire hope. Her daring exploits against the English forces quickly earn her a place at the side of the future king, whose coronation hinges on the sacred oil kept in Rheims. The story captures her blend of bravery, compassion, and strategic insight, painting a portrait of a young woman who reshapes a nation’s fate.

Best remembered for gathering fairy tales into the much-loved "Color Fairy Books," this Scottish writer also moved easily between poetry, criticism, history, translation, and folklore. His work helped bring old stories to new readers and still shapes how many people first meet classic tales.
