A personal retelling of the true story of Joan of Arc, France's saintly and heroic saviour from the fifteenth century, and her unwavering companion, a white sparrow.
'A vivid retelling ... moving and compelling' Julia Eccleshare
As war rages between France and England, the humble daughter of a peasant farmer faces the impossible: take charge of the French army and drive the English out. With unbelievable resolve - and Belami, a white sparrow who never deserts her - Joan returns to her people hope for the future.
But while France may be saved, Joan herself faces persecution. Continuing to serve her God will take immense strength, and destiny may prove cruel...
