Author
Patrick Rothfuss and Lionsgate have reached a deal to adapt his series of
fantasy books, The Kingkiller Chronicle, into a movie franchise, a TV show, and
a series of video games. According to the author, Lionsgate's demeanor and the
opportunity to have his creation spread across multiple platforms were the two
main reasons why he agreed to embark on the ambitious project after a previous
failed attempt by another studio at adapting the books for TV.
Titled The Name of
the Wind, the first book in the series is a riveting first-person narrative of
a young man who grows to be the most notorious magician his world has ever
seen. From his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, to years spent as a
near-feral orphan in a crime- ridden city, to his daringly brazen yet
successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, The Name of the Wind is a masterpiece that transports
readers into the body and mind of a wizard. It is a high-action novel written
with a poet’s hand, a powerful coming-of-age story of a magically gifted young
man, told through his eyes: to read this book is to be the hero.
