The Heretic: A Joan of Arc Alt History Short Story

Ninety-two years of dynastic squabbles have cursed France with war. Men see God's hand in all. Even prophecy.

Jehanne, a peasant girl from Lorraine, aims to fulfill the prophecy by crowning a king.

But crowns do not make a king. Neither does Jehanne's obedience to God.

History tells us that Joan of Arc burned at the stake. What if history is wrong?
