Super short story. It recounts how Scatty saved Joan and her becoming injured (thus the reason she becomes immortal as mentioned in the main series). It's told from the point of view of the soldier who injured her. 

Nothing much to say, as everything was already pretty much recounted in the main series so we already know what happens if you read this after the series.

I read the rest of the series a while ago but didn't have anything to read the ebooks on. This was a good albeit short story.

This one is just a short story about how Scathach rescues Joan from her execution. Entertaining. Only took about 5 mins for me to read and supports the series nicely.

One of the shortest but still interesting stories I've read so far. I remember the Dautderth whatever from Eragon series when Scatty enters the fortress(?).

Joan of Arc and Scathach are some of my favorite characters in the Nicholas Flamel books, so I enjoyed this short story. It details the truth about what happened the day Joan of Arc 'died' and was told from the point of view of a witness. It was well written and I liked it.

A fun short aside to the Nicholas Flamel story about one of my favorite characters! I enjoyed it and wish there was more about Joan of Arc.

Didn't how to rate this book for there isn't much to rate. A book that's just 6 pages! Publishers claim it as a short story. Haven't read a short story this short! Mission Impossible of medieval times, starring Joan of Arc and Scathach. The bibliography states that the short story is based on Scott's best selling Nicholas Flamel series and I haven't read the series. May be mine is a classic example of cart going before the horse.
