The story centers around the Siege of Compiègne during the Hundred Years' War and features the young and courageous Jeanne d'Arc, who comes to the aid of the besieged city. The narrative delves into the turmoil of war, exploring themes of bravery, treachery, and resilience within the context of French history.  At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Jehan des Torgnoles, a sculptor passionately working on grotesque gargoyles for the church of Saint-Corneille. His humorous yet self-deprecating thoughts reveal his struggles with vice and his tendency to get into trouble. The opening sets a vibrant scene of daily life in Compiègne juxtaposed with the looming threat of English invaders. As the narrative progresses, we learn of Jeanne d’Arc's heroic arrival to relieve the city, as Jehan grapples with his role in a society caught between the joys and dangers of existence amidst a devastating siege.
