As a child, Kvothe was one of the Edema Ruh (travelling performers). The story will take three days to tell, and this first book covers the first day telling of his story. Kvothe is now a simple innkeeper trying to keep his colorful past to himself, but agrees to tell the story of his life to the visiting Chronicler. This was an epic story set in an alternate universe. Le Guin, bestselling author and winner of the National Book Award Wherever Pat Rothfuss goes…he'll carry us with him as a good singer carries us through a song." -Ursula K. "It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing…with true music in the words…. 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. So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature-the story of a hero told in his own voice. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings.
