Joan of Arc: The Final Defiance: Her Last 72 Hours

30th May 1431

This is a fictional story of the final 72 hours of Joan of Arc. The story is told in a compelling countdown up until Joan of Arc's innocent life is extinguished. The girl who led the English against the French in the One Hundred Years War, who hears voices of the saints and God himself, discovers she will burn at the stake. Despised by Bishop Cauchon, he lays out a legal case against Joan which is full of lies but no one goes against him. A guard she has befriended lays out an escape plan to free her but fate intervenes.

As the hours count down to Joan's final hours, she reminisces about her visions, those hard yet wonderful things that guided her life, and she wonders if they were all worth it as she is led to the courtyard and her final minutes of her life. What were Joan's thoughts during her last 72 hours? What was behind Bishop Cauchon's motives? What were the thoughts of the guard and soldier that she had befriended during her last hours? How would her parents get past losing their daughter in a most horrific way? As the clock winds down, Joan must try to escape, or accept the fact that the voices knew what her fate was to be since the day she was born.
