The Maid at Arms is a historical fiction novel written by Robert W. Chambers. The story is set in France during the Hundred Years' War, and it follows the adventures of a young woman named Yolanda, who is the daughter of a nobleman. Yolanda is trained in the art of war and becomes a skilled fighter, earning the nickname The Maid at Arms. She is fiercely independent and determined to fight for her country, even if it means going against her own family. Along the way, Yolanda meets a young knight named Olivier, and the two fall in love. However, their love is tested by the ongoing war and the political turmoil of the time. The novel is a thrilling tale of love, war, and adventure, and it offers a unique perspective on the role of women in medieval society.1902. Chambers, American artist and writer, later turned to writing romantic fiction to earn a living. According to some estimates, Chambers had one of the most successful literary careers of his period, with a few of his works achieving bestseller status. The Maid-at-Arms begins: We drew bridle at the crossroads; he stretched his legs in his stirrups, raised his arms, yawned, and dropped his huge hands upon either thigh with a resounding slap. Well, good-bye, he said gravely, but made no movement to leave me. Do we part here? I asked, sorry to quit my chance acquaintance of the Johnstown highway. He nodded, yawned again, and removed his round cap of silver-fox fur to scratch his curly head. We certainly do part at these crossroads, if you are bound for Varicks, he said. I waited a moment, then thanked him for the pleasant entertainment his company had afforded me, and wished him a safe journey.
