The Narrow Road Between Desires

Hes bloody good, this Rothfuss guy – George R R Martin

The characters are real and the magic is true – Robin Hobb

Masterful … There is a beauty to Pats writing that defies description – Brandon Sanderson

The Number One New York Times-bestselling phenomenon Patrick Rothfuss returns to the wildly popular Kingkiller Chronicle universe with a stunning reimagining of The Lightning Tree. Expanded to twice its previous length and lavishly illustrated by Nathan Taylor, this touching stand-alone story is sure to please new readers and veteran Rothfuss fans alike.

Bast knows how to bargain. The give-and-take of a negotiation is as familiar to him as the in-and-out of breathing; to watch him trade is to watch an artist at work. But even a masters brush can slip. When he accepts a gift, taking something for nothing, Basts whole world is knocked askew, for he knows how to bargain – but not how to owe.

From dawn to midnight over the course of a single day, follow the Kingkiller Chronicles most charming fae as he schemes and sneaks, dancing into trouble and back out again with uncanny grace.

The Narrow Road Between Desires is Basts story. In it he traces the old ways of making and breaking, following his heart even when doing so goes against his better judgement.

After all, what good is caution if it keeps him from danger and delight?
