DAY TWO: THE WISE MAN'S FEAR
"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night
with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."
My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me.
So begins a tale told from his own point of view--a story unequaled in
fantasy literature. Now in The Wise Man's Fear, Day Two of The
Kingkiller Chronicle, an escalating rivalry with a powerful member of
the nobility forces Kvothe to leave the University and seek his fortune
abroad. Adrift, penniless, and alone, he travels to Vintas, where he
quickly becomes entangled in the politics of courtly society. While
attempting to curry favor with a powerful noble, Kvothe uncovers an
assassination attempt, comes into conflict with a rival arcanist, and
leads a group of mercenaries into the wild, in an attempt to solve the
mystery of who (or what) is waylaying travelers on the King's Road.
All the while, Kvothe searches for answers, attempting to uncover the
truth about the mysterious Amyr, the Chandrian, and the death of his
parents. In The Wise Man's Fear, Kvothe takes his first steps on the
path of the hero and learns how difficult life can be when a man becomes
a legend in his own time.
