The book tells the story of Joan of Arc, a young French peasant girl who believed she received divine instructions from voices and visions of saints. During the Hundred Years' War, she led French forces in battle against the English occupiers while still in her teens. After achieving military successes, she was captured by her own countrymen and executed as a martyr.
