Synopses

The Name of the Wind

Kvothe introduces himself through a catalogue of extraordinary deeds before the narrative turns to his life as Kote, an unassuming innkeeper. It follows his childhood with travelling players, his years as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, and his attempt to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic.

The Wise Man's Fear

The second instalment continues Kvothe’s tale, taking him into exile and through political intrigue, courtship, adventure, love and magic. It moves further along the path that leads the legendary magician of his age towards Kote, the quiet pub landlord.

The Slow Regard of Silent Things

The University draws brilliant minds to study sciences such as artificing and alchemy, yet far below its halls lies an abandoned maze where Auri lives. Formerly a student, she tends the world around her and looks beyond the University’s sharp rationality, sensing subtle dangers and hidden names.
