Description

About the Book:

“My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me.”

So begins The Name of the Wind, the first volume in Patrick Rothfuss’s masterful fantasy series, The Kingkiller Chronicle. This is the tale of a gifted young man who grows up to be the most notorious wizard the world has ever known.

Told in Kvothe’s own voice, this is the story of his childhood in a traveling troupe of performers, his years as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, and his daring entrance into a legendary school of magic. There, he hones his knowledge, defies expectations, and begins to uncover the dark truth behind the mysterious forces that shattered his life.

But Kvothe is more than a gifted student—he is a swordsman, a magician, a thief, a musician, and a man who walks the line between myth and reality.

Rich in world-building, lyrical in prose, and unforgettable in its characters, The Name of the Wind is a genre-defining tale of adventure, love, loss, and legend. It’s not just the story of a hero. It’s the story of how a legend is born—and what it costs to become one.
