In 'The Wise Man's Fear', the second volume of The Kingkiller Chronicle, we return to the tale of the remarkable Kvothe. Having become a legend in his own right, the prodigious musician, magician, and adventurer must navigate a life fraught with danger and mystery. Exiled and with a price on his head, Kvothe's story takes us across lands brimming with fierce politics, arcane magic, and capricious romance. From encounters with mythical beings in the Fae realm to clashing with swordsmen and the perils of the Edema Ruh's honor, Kvothe's journey is one of triumph and heartache. As he steps closer to understanding the tangled secrets of the Amyr and the Chandrian, he also grapples with the toll of becoming a hero feared by some and revered by others.
