Joan of Arc

The dauphin, it has been said, was tiring of war. He could not get his countrymen together. His army was demoralized after suffering many losses. The strategic city of orléans had been under siege for months. The french garrison inside it was being starved out by a chain of english fortresses surrounding it on three sides, and the prospects of sending successful reinforcements to break the siege seemed poor.

Now, eighteen years later, her faithful friend has decided to remove the shroud of mysticism which has surrounded joan for too long to show the world who she really was. In his book, the scribe seeks to take the first steps to set to rights the wrongs which were perpetrated against an innocent woman by men who desperately gambled her life away to secure their own lives.
This is the first story in a cycle of books about the greatest women in history. Their histories are utterly fascinating and i am always more than a little disappointed about saying goodbye to them.
