"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.

The Story of Kvothe

The Name of the Wind introduces us to Kvothe—legend, arcanist, kingkiller—now living as a simple innkeeper named Kote. When a scribe called Chronicler finds him, Kvothe agrees to tell his true story over three days.

Day One covers:

• Kvothe's childhood with the Edema Ruh traveling troupe
• The tragedy that shapes his life
• His years as a street urchin in Tarbean
• His admission to the University
• His first encounters with the Chandrian

The magic system—sympathy, naming, artificing—is one of the most elegant in fantasy. And Rothfuss's prose is simply beautiful.
