Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Swordsman of Lost Terra" by Poul Anderson is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story unfolds in a richly imagined world filled with warriors, magic, and the struggle for survival amidst dark forces. The protagonist, Kery, the son of Rhiach, is a skilled swordsman from the clan of Broina who embarks on a journey filled with peril and ambition, aiming to reclaim the powerful pipes of the gods and face the menacing Dark Landers threatening his homeland. At the start of the narrative, we meet Kery and his companions who have been traveling southward for five years on a quest to find a new home for their clan. As they encounter the foreboding territory of Ryvan, rumors of an approaching army force them into a defensive position. Faced with conflict, Kery grapples with his young manhood, his dreams of home, and the impending threat to his people. The opening sets the stage for a conflict with the Dark Landers, highlighting Kery's growth, the legacy of his clan, and the complexities of leadership and duty as he prepares to confront formidable foes and the challenges that lie ahead.
