original cover of ISBNMy name is Kvothe, pronounced nearly the same as “quothe.” Names are important as they tell you a great deal about a person. I've had more names than anyone has a right to.The Adem call me Maedre. Which, depending on how it's spoken, can mean The Flame, The Thunder, or The Broken Tree.“The Flame” is obvious if you’ve ever seen me. I have red hair, bright. If I had been born a couple of hundred years ago I would probably have been burned as a demon. I keep it short but it's unruly. When left to its own devices, it sticks up and makes me look as if I have been set afire.“The Thunder” I attribute to a strong baritone and a great deal of stage training at an early age.I’ve never thought of “The Broken Tree” as very significant. Although in retrospect, I suppose it could be considered at least partially prophetic.My first mentor called me E'lir because I was clever and I knew it. My first real lover called me Dulator because she liked the sound of it. I have been called Shadicar, Lightfinger, and Six-String. I have been called Kvothe the Bloodless, Kvothe the Arcane, and Kvothe Kingkiller. I have earned those names. Bought and paid for them.But I was brought up as Kvothe. My father once told me it meant “to know”.I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned.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 the tale of Kvothe — from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, to 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 as a notorious magician, an accomplished thief, a masterful musician, and an infamous assassin. But The Name of the Wind is so much more — for the story it tells reveals the truth behind Kvothe's legend.

Nach dem tragischen Tod seiner Mutter wächst der junge Wolfgang Goldenleonard auf der Straße auf, wo er sich als Anführer einer Bande durchs Leben schlägt. Doch als er 13 Jahre alt ist, wird er von der königlichen Garde gefunden und in den Palast gebracht. Der störrische, wilde Junge will mit seinem verhassten Vater und allem, was diesem gehört, am liebsten gar nichts zu tun haben – bis er auf den Lustknaben Soohyuk Shin trifft. Dieser wartet schon lange auf eine Gelegenheit, den Fängen des Königs zu entkommen, und setzt nun all seine Karten auf den vierten Prinzen: Um endlich Erlösung zu finden, will er ihn zum König machen – und eine Revolution anzetteln …

Wolfgang, der vierte Prinz des Königreichs, hasst seinen Vater und sinnt auf Rache für den Tod seiner Mutter. Sein Verbündeter Soohyuk will hingegen nur seiner traurigen Realität als „Besitz“ des Königs entrinnen. Die beiden Jungen habe also unterschiedliche Ansichten darüber, wie und warum ihr Ziel zu erreichen ist. Doch sie teilen denselben Traum: den Niedergang des Tyranns, der ihnen das Leben zur Hölle macht.

Wolfgang und Soohyuk haben mit ihrer Revolution den Thron gewonnen und setzen nun alles daran, das Königreich wieder aufzubauen. Doch der alte Tyrann hat ein Geheimnis vor all seinen Untertanen verborgen: Die Magie des Königshauses ist längst versiegt. Um dem Schwinden der königlichen Magie auf die Spur zu gehen, brechen Wolfgang und Soohyuk zu den Drachen auf, die einst der Familie ihre Macht verliehen haben sollen. Dort treffen sie unerwartet auf weitere verstoßene Söhne des Tyrannen - die den beiden alles andere als freundlich gegenübertreten …

His blood is SaxonHis heart is VikingHis battleground is EnglandIt is a time of political turmoil once more as the fading King Edward begins to lose control over his successors and their supporters. There are two potential heirs—possibly more—and doubt over whether the once separate states of Wessex and Mercia will hold together . Despite attempts at pulling him into the political fray, Uhtred of Bebbanburg cares solely about his beloved Northumbria and its continuing independence from southern control.But an oath is a strong, almost sacred commitment and such a promise had been exchanged between Uhtred and Aethelstan, his onetime companion in arms and now a potential king. Uhtred was tempted to ignore the demands of the oath and stay in his northern fastness, leaving the quarrelling Anglo-Saxons to sort out their own issues. But an attack on him by a leading supporter of one of the candidates and an unexpected appeal for help from another, drives Uhtred with a small band of warriors south, into the battle for kingship—and England’s fate.　　

Wolfgang hat ein gutes Herz und einen Sinn für Gerechtigkeit – doch viele sehen in ihm nur den Nachfolger seines tyrannischen Vaters. Als es zu einem Attentat bei der Krönungszeremonie kommt, begreift Soohyuk, dass nicht nur die Güte des jungen Königs eine Schwachstelle ist – sondern auch er selbst. Während sich eine neue Rebellion am Hofe zusammenbraut, muss Soohyuk sich der Frage stellen, wie weit er für das Königreich gehen würde …
