    About this ebook

    Called upon by God to liberate the people of her country, Joan of Arc sets out on her mission to re-conquer France at the age of 17. A peasant girl who knows nothing of war, she reunites a broken French army and leads them to victory against the English, guided only by her celestial voices. A feat so remarkable that she was accused of being a witch, captured by her enemies, and burnt at the stake at 19. The story of the most famous female soldier in history is one of courage, faith and inspiration, and she remains today a figure of legend.

      Thanks be to God.

      Dedicated to my two daughters, Claudia and Lorena, and to my husband, John, without whose help this book could not have been completed. Also dedicated to my mother, Minda, who was my first heroine.

      To my readers, I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I have enjoyed writing it. May St. Joan of Arc touch you in some way.

      Stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace. In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all the flaming arrows of evil. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, (Paul, Ephesians 6)

      The Lily of France

      She is beautiful and pure as a flower in her shining armour.

      She wears the crown of her martyrdom with splendour and grace; a princess whose courage and candor anyone will amaze.

      In the likeness of a brilliant dove in flight to the heavens her soul rose.

      Voila, the petite maiden of Domremy!

      The Lily of France

      — Laura Mirabal

      Joan of Arc was born of a peasant family on January 6, l4l2, in the small village of Domremy, on the border of Lorraine, northeastern France.
