The first volume of a trilogy, Book One takes Jehanne Darc (later known as Jeanne dArc) from her origins to her first victory, at Orléans.</p><p>She was born 150 years earlier than Shakespeare, toward the end of the Hundred Years War, back when Europe was made up less of nations than atomistic states, riven by warlords and their militias. Families were still losing children to the plague and to the wars accompanying violence against women and children. Her home province, Lorraine, wasnt yet part of France-something she fought to change all her life. She became a child soldier at sixteen, propelled by a set of voices she came to call the voice of God, fought the English occupiers and inspired her countrys eventual unification years later. In <em>Jehanne Darc,</em> the young soldier has some magical powers, which her enemies call sorcery; they also hate that she wears mens battle dress.</p><p>In Book One, readers see her transformation from farm girl to warrior. They also meet her ally whose wealth and power prove essential to Jehannes mission: her kings mother-in-law Yolande dAragon, Duchess of Anjou, also known as the "Queen of Four Kingdoms" (Aragon, Sicily, Cyprus, and Jerusalem). Together they marshal the armies that liberate Orleans by May 8, 1429.</p><p><em>Jehanne Darc</em> is a Joan of Arc readers havent seen before: traumatized by war, gender-defying, and magical in all the right ways. A superhero for our troubling times.</p>...7049235Jehanne Darc, Book One155155https://www.gandhi.com.mx/jehanne-darc--book-one-9781963221084/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7012094/image.jpg?v=638865028849530000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781963221084_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9781963221084_<p><strong>Book One: From Domrémy to Orléans</strong></p><p><em>Jehanne Darc</em> draws on the historical record to create a vivid, lyrical present-tense narrative of women at war.
