J’avais 13 ans la première fois qu’ils ont brûlé mon village et je pouvais sentir seulement la peur. La deuxième fois, j’avais 16 ans. Je n’avais plus peur. J’ai senti une colère énorme dans mon cœur comme si le feu était entré en moi, comme si j’étais devenue moi-même le feu, et je me suis sentie capable de brûler les ennemis de la France de la terre.
Je savais ce que je devais faire.

This novel is the first in a series of three novels about the life of Joan of Arc, in which she tells us in her own voice how she grew from being a young farmer's daughter to being a leader in the war against England. It was written especially for French learners at an intermediate-high to advanced level. With a rich but still manageable vocabulary, these short novels make French language and history easily accessible to learners. Enjoy reading!
