Description

Discover #1 New York Times-bestselling Patrick Rothfuss epic fantasy series, The Kingkiller Chronicle. I just love the world of Patrick Rothfuss. Lin-Manuel Miranda He s bloody good, this Rothfuss guy. George R. R. Martin Rothfuss has real talent. Terry Brooks OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD! DAY ONE: THE NAME OF THE WIND My name is Kvothe. I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me. So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature the story of a hero told in his own voice. It is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man s search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend. Praise for The Kingkiller Chronicle: The best epic fantasy I read last year.... He s bloody good, this Rothfuss guy. George R. R. Martin, New York Times-bestselling author of A Song of Ice and Fire Rothfuss has real talent, and his tale of Kvothe is deep and intricate and wondrous. Terry Brooks, New York Times-bestselling author of Shannara "It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing...with true music in the words." Ursula K. Le Guin, award-winning author of Earthsea "The characters are real and the magic is true. Robin Hobb, New York Times-bestselling author of Assassin s Apprentice "Masterful.... There is a beauty to Pat's writing that defies description." Brandon Sanderson, New York Times-bestselling author of Mistborn"
