DAY ONE: THE NAME OF THE WIND
My name is Kvothe.
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.
You may have heard of me.
So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature--the story of a hero
told in his own voice. 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.
