The Name of the Wind

by Patrick Rothfuss · The Kingkiller Chronicle series

The legendary Kvothe recounts his transformation from a gifted child in a traveling troupe to a street orphan and finally to the University's youngest student of magic. His search for the truth behind the Chandrian—the mythical beings who murdered his family—drives a tale of music, magic, and mystery. Rothfuss crafts an intimate, beautifully written story of a hero narrating his own legend.
