Series: The Kingkiller Chronicle #1

One day, a young boy named Kvothe, who was an Edema Ruh, an actor from a traveling troupe, and a student of an arcanist, heard about the Chandrians from his father. These were strange and terrible demons, either real creatures or the heroes of legends and children's horror songs. Nobody knew that a song about them would cost Kvothe's parents and the entire troupe their lives, and would push him onto a road full of adventures and dangers. Whether he is a tramp, a university student, or an innkeeper, he will be searching for the trail of the terrible creatures he encountered one night in the ashes where his carefree childhood burned.
