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 the tale of KvotheтАФfrom his child'
hood in a troupe of traveling players, to 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 as a notorious magician, an accom*
plished thief, a masterful musician, and an
infamous assassin. But THE NAME OF THE
WIND is so much moreтАФfor the story it tells
reveals the truth behind Kvothe's legend.

will be more.

Advance quotes for THE NAME OF THE W f l ┬╗ :

"THE NAME OF THE WIND marks the debut of a writer we would all do
well to watch. Patrick Rothfuss has real talent, and his tale of Kvothe is deep
and intricate and wondrous."
тАФTerry Brooks,
22-time New York Times bestselling author

"THE NAME OF THE WIND has everything fantasy readers like, magic and
mysteries and ancient evil, but it's also humorous and terrifying and completely
believable. As with all the very best books in our field, it's not the fantasy
trappings (wonderful as they are) that make this novel so good, but what the
author has to say about true, common things, about ambition and failure, art,
love, and loss." тАФTad Williams
New York Times bestselling author of Shadowmarch,
Otherland, and Memory, Sorrow and Thorn
