Summary:
FANTASY FICTION. '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. My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me' So
begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming
innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players,
through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled
city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult
and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know
Kvothe the notorious magician, the accomplished thief, the masterful
musician, the dragon-slayer, the legend-hunter, the lover, the thief
and the infamous assassin. The Name of the Wind is fantasy at its
very best, and an astounding must-read title.
