Summary: "The Sword Maker" by Robert Barr is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the turbulent settings of Frankfort, a city ripe with social unrest and economic decay, where merchants struggle against the oppressive rule of nobility and brigands. The protagonist, Roland, is a young prince who aspires to become a master swordsman and harbinger of change, navigating the harsh realities of his society in his quest for freedom and justice. The opening of the novel establishes a setting of chaos and despair, with a population on the brink of rioting against a lethargic emperor and his corrupt nobles. Amidst the turmoil, a group of craftsmen, primarily metal-workers, gather in a tavern to scheme their escape from destitution. Roland, who possesses extraordinary swordsmanship skills, becomes their unexpected leader after vanishing for a time but returning with plans to rescue their city from ruin. His interactions with the merchants highlight the growing strife in Frankfort, and Roland's determination to reclaim prosperity sets the stage for a gripping tale of rebellion, camaraderie, and the quest for rightful authority.
