No longer fooled by the sharp rationality so treasured by the University; Auri sees beyond the surface of things; into subtle dangers and hidden names.

The Name of the Wind I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods; loved women; and written songs that make the minstrels weep. My name is Kvothe You may have heard of me So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote; the unassuming innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players; through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city; to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know Kvothe the notorious magician; the accomplished thief; the masterful musician; the dragon-slayer; the legend-hunter; the lover; the thief and the infamous assassin. The Name of the Wind is fantasy at its very best; and an astounding must-read title.
