A stunning feminist reimagining of the life of Joan of Arc—perfect for fans of Cecily, Ariadne and Matrix.

Girl. Warrior. Heretic. Saint?

France is mired in a losing war against England. Its people are starving. Its king is in hiding. And out of the chaos, an unlikely heroine is emerging.

Reckless, steel-willed and brilliant, Joan has survived a childhood steeped in both joy and violence to claim an extraordinary—and fragile—position at the head of the French army. The battlefield and the royal court are full of dangers alike, and Joan finds herself under suspicion from all sides—as well as under threat from her own ambition.

With unforgettably vivid characters and propulsive storytelling, Joan is a thrilling epic, a triumph of historical fiction, as well as a feminist celebration of one remarkable—and remarkably real—woman who left an indelible mark on history.

Critic reviews

"It is as if the author has crept inside a statue and breathed a soul into it, re-creating Joan of Arc as a woman for our time." (Hilary Mantel, twice Booker Prize-winning author of The Mirror & the Light)

"A glorious, sweeping novel.... Richly imagined, poignant and inspiring." (Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne)

"Measured, austere, profoundly physical. I loved it." (Jo Baker, author of Longbourn)
