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 master's brush can slip. When he accepts a gift taking something for nothing
Bast's 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 Chronicle's most
charming fae as he schemes and sneaks dancing into trouble and back out again with uncanny
grace. The Narrow Road Between Desires is Bast's 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?
