The university, a renowned bastion of knowledge, attracts the brightest minds to unravel the secrets of enlightened sciences such as craftsmanship and alchemy. Yet deep beneath its bustling halls lies a complex and extensive labyrinth of abandoned rooms and ancient passages – and at the heart of it all lives Auri. Once a student of the university, Auri now spends her days tending to the world around her. She has learned that some secrets are best left unsolved and safe. No longer deceived by the sharp rationality that the university so values, Auri sees beyond the surface of things, into subtle dangers and hidden names. Both joyful and eerie, "The Slow Regard of Silent Things" is a rich, atmospheric, and lyrical tale that features one of the most beloved characters from Rothfuss' acclaimed fantasy series.
