The Will of the Many

Hunter, a soldier-turned-monk, has sworn to dismantle the tyrannical Kistrill Empire. His weapon? Kingmaker, the royal family's enchanted sword and most potent symbol of power, stolen right from under their noses. With his loyal, battle-hardened friend Chekwe at his side, Hunter seeks refuge in the treacherous mountain jungles of Orzan.

But sanctuary is a distant dream. Two determined women are on his trail: Tennea, Hunter's own sister and the Emperor's elite manhunter, is bound by duty to retrieve Kingmaker and bring her brother to justice. Armed with a company of crack cavalry and a trove of enchanted artifacts, she exploits Hunter's deepest vulnerability – his yearning heart. Then there's Dahlia, a fierce widow who will do anything to protect her son and salvage her ranch from relentless goblin raids. She needs Hunter's help, whether he's willing to give it or not.

As rum-fueled goblin skirmishes escalate into a full-blown war, and Orzan's petty warlords scramble for control of Kingmaker's power, Hunter faces impossible odds. Can he uphold his oath and safeguard the enchanted blade? Or will Chekwe's uncontrollable desire to wield Kingmaker's mysterious power doom them all?

The Lord Ruler is dead. But victory came at a cost. Kelsier, the mastermind behind the revolution, is gone, leaving Vin, the former street urchin turned powerful Mistborn, and young Emperor Elend Venture to forge a new world from the ashes of a thousand-year empire.

But their struggle has only just begun. As Vin battles assassins and grapples with her growing status as a religious icon, Luthadel faces threats from within and without. Three armies converge to lay siege to the city, while whispers of an ancient power, the Well of Ascension, offer a tempting, yet uncertain, path to salvation. With the city teetering on the brink of chaos and the very mists behaving in terrifying new ways, Vin and Elend must unravel the secrets of the past to secure a future that may already be lost. Was overthrowing the Lord Ruler truly a victory, or merely the beginning of the end?

Haunted by a devastating tragedy, Ranger Will Treaty teeters on the brink, consumed by a thirst for vengeance that threatens to shatter his oath to the Ranger Corps. As his friends struggle to pull him back from the abyss, Halt offers a surprising solution: Will must take on an apprentice.

The candidate is rebellious, unwilling, and the last person anyone expects. But as Will grapples with training his new charge, a routine mission unearths a shocking conspiracy. Torn between his personal quest for retribution and his duty to protect the innocent, Will faces an agonizing choice. Can he overcome his demons and embrace his role as a Ranger, or will his pursuit of revenge lead him down a path of no return?

My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me.

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.

So begins the legend of Kvothe, an unassuming innkeeper with a past shrouded in mystery and magic. From a childhood as a traveling player to surviving as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, Kvothe’s daring bid to enter a legendary school of magic sets him on a path to becoming the most notorious wizard his world has ever known.

The Name of the Wind is a breathtaking coming-of-age story, a high-action adventure told with a poet's grace, that invites you to discover the truth behind the myth and step into the mind of a wizard.
