"Yer hewmn " Damon Ryan, wakes in the wreckage of his ship, to the
sight of Nicodemus, harper, unwilling mystic, outcast, staring down
at him in disbelief. The amazement is mutual. Deep in uncharted
space, his ship out of power, Damon hadn't expected to survive,
much less find another member of his own species. So begins the
partnership that threatens the very premise on which the Land was
founded. Two very different people from unimaginably different
cultures, one technological and wholly egalitarian, the other
medieval, hierarchical, reflexively distrustful of change. But, in
the irrevocably stranded spacer, Nicodemus recognizes a man more
exiled than himself. All they can salvage from the wreckage is a
little gold Damon carried for currency and his infocom, a wrist
computer he dismisses as a toy. Although the spacer thinks of his
accident as no more than the downside of random chance, Nicodemus
believes he discerns the hand of the god. Damon will masquerade as
his servant, while they seek how to fit him in to a society that
frowns upon a masterless man. Yet as they travel the Land and the
power of the infocom becomes apparent, Nicodemus begins to wonder:
is it the man the god sent, or his machine?
