520    "1412. France is mired in a losing war against England. 
       Its people are starving. Its king is in hiding. From this 
       chaos emerges a teenage girl who will turn the tide of 
       battle and lead the French to victory, an unlikely hero 
       whose name will echo across the centuries. In Katherine J.
       Chen's hands, the myth and legend of Joan of Arc is 
       transformed into a flesh-and-blood young woman: reckless, 
       steel-willed, and brilliant. This stunningly-researched 
       novel is a sweeping narrative of her life, from a 
       childhood steeped in both joy and violence, to her 
       meteoric rise to fame at the head of the French army, 
       where she must navigate both the dangers of the 
       battlefield and the equally treacherous politics of the 
       royal court. For there are many who are threatened by a 
       woman who leads, and Joan draws wrath and suspicion from 
       all corners, even while her first tastes of fame, wealth, 
       and glory leave her vulnerable to her own powerful 
       ambition"--|cProvided by publisher.
