After her beloved mentor, Jean le Vieux, comes to her in a dream and gives her the injunction to "Learn of the Maiden and take her the sword," Katelyn understands that her mission involves assisting one of the most iconic figures in all of French History.

Katelyn is once again whisked back to the turmoil of medieval France during the Hundred Years' War and to Nicolas.
