Synopsis "The Narrow Road Between Desires"

An instant New York Times, USA Today and Indie Bestseller! #1 New York Times-bestselling phenomenon Patrick Rothfuss returns to the wildly popular Kingkiller Chronicle universe with a stunning reimagining of "The Lightning Tree." Expanded to twice its previous length and lavishly illustrated by Nate Taylor, this touching stand-alone story is sure to please new readers and veteran Rothfuss fans alike. Bast knows how to bargain. The give-and-take of a negotiation is as familiar to him as the in-and-out of breathing; to watch him trade is to watch an artist at work. But even a master's brush can slip. When he accepts a gift, taking something for nothing, Bast's whole world is knocked askew, for he knows how to bargain--but not how to owe. From dawn to midnight over the course of a single day, follow the Kingkiller Chronicle's most charming fae as he schemes and sneaks, dancing into trouble and back out again with uncanny grace. The Narrow Road Between Desires is Bast's story. In it he traces the old ways of making and breaking, following his heart even when doing so goes against his better judgement. After all, what good is caution if it keeps him from danger and delight?

(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.
