About this series
The Merlin of St. Gilles' Well was named one of the 10 Best Fantasy and Science Fiction Novels the year by Booklist. Now Ann Chamberlin continues her acclaimed saga with another gripping mixture of brilliantly re-created history and ancient magic.
A.D. 1425. France lies in bloody fragments, torn apart by decades of bitter warfare. Merlin's ancient prophecy foretells that a Maid will come, La Pucelle, who will unite the kingdom and heal the Land, but how much longer must the wounded country wait?
In the farmlands of Lorraine, young Jehannette d'Arc wrestles with her place in the world. Her family wants her to be more like other girls, but she hears Voices urging her on to a greater destiny, as does the wise old hermit who knows, even before Jehanette herself, whom she truly is: The Maid of Orleans.
The Merlin of the Oak Wood is an unforgettable novel that exposes the mythic roots running beneath one of history's most remarkable dramas.

- The Merlin of St. Gilles' Well
1
In the bestselling tradition of The Mists of Avalon, a powerful retelling of the legend of Joan of Arc! For close to six hundred years, the world has been fascinated by the true story of Joan of Arc. The saga of her rise from obscurity to lead the armies of France, followed by her tragic martyrdom, has inspired many books, plays, and films. Less well known is the fact that Joan's astounding destiny was predicted by ancient prophecies attributed to none other than Merlin himself. Or that Joan, later canonized by the Church as a saint, may have been a practioner of an even older religion: the ancient pagan ways that predated Christianity throughout Europe. The Merlin of St. Gilles' Well is a stunning historical fantasy, based on actual events, that casts Joan and her times in a revealing new light.
