Living in self-imposed exile, he is one day discovered by a chronicler who convinces him to tell him the story of his life.
Each novel is Kvothe describing his origin story over the course of one day, a story filled with romance, magical worlds, and a malevolent figure that Kvothe has a personal grudge against.
For those who may not have read Patrick Rothfuss’ so far two book long series (a third is on the way, someday), it tells the story of Kvothe, an extremely skilled magician, performer, and warrior, and the adventures that led him to becoming one of the most notorious figures who ever lived.
