Today’s Free Book is:

 

The Name of the Wind

by Patrick Rothfuss

 

The Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One . . . — 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 form the University  at a younger age than most people are allowed in.  I tread paths by moonlighting that others fear to speak of during the 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 how indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.
