The most mysterious circumstances of the life and death of Joan of Arc were the trial and execution of the Maid of Orleans. There is a belief that all this was just a well-performed performance.

The legend of the rescue of the heroine of France rests on one inexplicable incident: about eight years after Joan of Arc was burned in Rouen, she herself came to Orleans. Jeanne - now called Jeanne de Armoise - was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd. She was presented with a large sum of money “for the good service rendered to the city during the siege.”

The hospitality shown to Jeanne de Armoise, the approach to the royal court and the joy at meeting relatives are inexplicable. Was it really Joan of Arc who miraculously survived?..

Many historians and writers have been trying to solve this puzzle for centuries. Yulia Andreeva offers her version of what happened in this book.
