About this listen

Joan of Arc is one of history’s most famous figures—and one of its most misunderstood.

This audiobook presents a historically grounded biography that moves beyond legend to reconstruct Joan’s life through trial records, witness testimony, and modern historical scholarship. It is not historical fiction or mythic retelling, but a serious narrative history of a teenage peasant whose conviction reshaped the course of medieval France.

Rising from a remote village during the darkest years of the Hundred Years’ War, Joan claimed divine guidance at a moment of national collapse. Within months, she helped lift the Siege of Orléans, forced stalled commanders into action, and escorted the Dauphin to his coronation at Reims. Her authority came not from rank or training, but from presence, certainty, and an uncompromising demand for action.

The audiobook devotes particular attention to Joan’s capture, imprisonment, and trial for heresy, revealing how canon law was manipulated under political pressure and why her conviction was later annulled by the Church itself. Joan’s own recorded words—preserved by the very court that sought to destroy her—remain central to this account.

Written in clear, restrained prose, Joan of Arc: The Warrior Saint is ideal for listeners interested in medieval history, religious history, and serious biography.

Joan of Arc did not seek legacy.

She sought obedience.

History gave her both.
