Joan of Arc: The Untold Story

Joan of Arc, a peasant girl who put Charles VII on the throne, is a well-known figure in history. However, the story is not as straightforward as it seems. When Joan was just five years old, three angels and saints appeared to her, claiming to be holy. The Archangel Michael and Saint Margaret told her that she was the foretold Warrior Maid of Lorraine, destined to free France and put a king upon his throne. Saint Catherine made her promise to obey their commands and embrace her destiny, and the three saints would guide her every step. Jeanne bound herself to these creatures without knowing what she had done. As she grew older, Jeanne grew to mistrust and fear the voices, and they did not hesitate to punish her cruelly for disobedience. She quickly learned that their cherished prophecy was more important than the girl expected to make it come true. Jeanne is only a shepherd's daughter, not the Warrior Maid of the prophecy, but she is stubborn and rebellious and finds ways to avoid doing and being what these creatures want. Resistance has a terrifying price, but Jeanne is determined to fight for the life she wants. But when the cost grows too high, Jeanne will risk everything to save the three people she loves most in all the world.
