Living quietly under an assumed name as an innkeeper, Kote is really Kvothe — a legendary figure whose exploits as a musician, thief, magician and adventurer are the stuff of myth and rumour. When a travelling scribe known as Chronicler recognises him, Kvothe agrees to finally tell the true story of his life, in his own words, over the course of three days. It begins with his childhood among the Edema Ruh, a troupe of travelling performers, and the horrifying night his family is slaughtered by the mythical Chandrian, leaving him orphaned and alone. What follows is Kvothe's remarkable rise from a near-feral street orphan to a student at a legendary university of magic, driven by grief, brilliance and an unrelenting hunger for answers. Lyrically written and richly imagined, this is the acclaimed first book in The Kingkiller Chronicle — a coming-of-age story about music, magic, love and the making of a legend.
