Synopsis "The Name of the Wind "

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 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.

(Madison, Wisconsin) Author of The Name of the Wind, his dazzling literary debut and first volume of The Kingkiller Chronicle that established him as a publishing phenomenon and marked him as a milestone in international fantasy. The novel, which has been translated into thirty-five languages and praised by readers and critics; won the Quill Award for Best Work of Fantasy in 2007 and has sold ten million copies worldwide and is on the New York Times bestseller list. For his mastery as a storyteller and the originality of his stories, critics have compared Rothfuss to great writers like J. R. R. Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, and George R. R. Martin. He currently lives in Wisconsin and, besides writing, runs Worldbuilders, a charity with humanitarian purposes.
