J’avais 13 ans la première fois qu’ils ont brûlé mon village et je pouvais sentir seulement la peur. La deuxième fois, j’avais 16 ans. Je n’avais plus peur. J’ai senti une colère énorme dans mon cœur comme si le feu était entré en moi, comme si j’étais devenue moi-même le feu, et je me suis sentie capable de brûler les ennemis de la France de la terre.
​
Je savais ce que je devais faire.
This novel is the first in a series of three novels about the life of Joan of Arc, in which she tells us in her own voice how she grew from being a young farmer's daughter to being a leader in the war against England.

Je pouvais lire la terreur dans les yeux des soldats qui avaient été assiégés pendant les six derniers mois, mais avec moi ils ont retrouvé leur courage. J’ai levé mon drapeau dans l’air et je me suis approchée sans peur. Les Anglais nous regardaient approcher du haut de la fortifi cation de Saint-Loup . Leurs fl èches tombaient sur nous comme de la pluie. J’entendais les cris des hommes tombés. J’ai continué à avancer. J’ai crié : — Allez-y ! Continuez ! Dieu est avec vous. Ne vous arrêtez pas. La France est à nous !
​
This novel is the second in a series of three novels about the life of Joan of Arc, in which she tells us in her own voice how she leads the French army in the war against England and obtains victory. In this second book, other voices are included, who tell parts of the story from their own perspective: ordinary people who tell each other what they have seen and heard, and Yolande d'Aragon, the tutor of the crown prince, who gives us more insight in the political intrigues around Jeanne.
