'Er zijn drie dingen die alle wijze mannen vrezen: storm op zee, een maanloze nacht, en de woede van een heer.' Een escalerende machtsstrijd met een machtige edelman dwingt Kvothe, de held uit De naam van de wind, om de Universiteit te verlaten en zijn geluk elders te beproeven. Zwervend, berooid en alleen reist hij naar Vintas, waar hij algauw verstrikt raakt in de politieke intriges van het koningshuis. Terwijl hij machtige vrienden probeert te maken, ontdekt Kvothe een plan voor een aanslag. En ook ontmoet hij Felurian, de onweerstaanbare fee die met haar betovering al menig man in het ongeluk heeft gestort. Door haar leert Kvothe veel over de aard en de magische aantrekkingskracht van vrouwen. In De angst van de wijze zet Kvothe zijn eerste stapjes op het pad naar heldendom en leert hij hoe moeilijk het leven kan zijn als je een levende legende dreigt te worden.

'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. -- Back cover.

There he meets Felurian, the faerie woman no man can resist, and who no man has ever survived...until Kvothe.

Renowned as a bastion of knowledge, the University draws the brightest minds to unravel the mysteries of enlightened sciences, such as artificing and alchemy. Yet deep below its bustling halls lies a complex web of abandoned rooms and ancient passageways. In the heart of this cavernous maze is a young woman named Auri, who calls this Underthing her home. Formerly a student at the University, Auri now spends her days tending to the world around her. She knows that some mysteries are better settled and safe. No longer fooled by the sharp rationality so trusted by those above her, Auri sees beyond the surface of things, into subtle dangers and hidden names. At once joyous and haunting, The Slow Regard of Silent Things is a richly atmospheric and lyrical tale, featuring one of the most beloved characters from Rothfuss' acclaimed fantasy series.
