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 follows the adventures of a young woman named Joan of Arc, who becomes a legendary figure in French history. Joan, a simple peasant girl, hears the voice of God telling her to lead the French army to victory against the English. Despite facing skepticism and opposition from those around her, Joan remains steadfast in her belief and sets out to fulfill her mission. Along the way, Joan meets and befriends a group of soldiers, including the handsome and chivalrous Sir John de Bueil. Together, they fight battles and overcome obstacles, all while Joan struggles to maintain her faith and determination in the face of daunting challenges. The Maid at Arms is a thrilling tale of courage, faith, and heroism, and a powerful tribute to one of the most iconic figures in French history.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.
