The Slow Regard of Silent Things

A companion novella to Patrick Rothfuss's 1 New York Times bestselling Kingkiller Chronicle. The Slow Regard of Silent Things is set at The University, where the brightest minds work to unravel the mysteries of enlightened sciences, such as artificing and alchemy. Auri, a former student (and a secondary but influential character from Rothfuss's earlier novels) now lives alone beneath the sprawling campus in a maze of ancient and abandoned passageways. There in The Underthing, she feels her powers and learns to see the truths that science and her former classmates have overlooked.
