The Music of Silence (The Kingkiller Chronicle 3)

The Music of Silence offers a glimpse into the life of Auri, one of the most endearing characters in The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear . It's the story of a girl trying to live in a broken world.

When Auri woke up, she knew there were seven days left. Yes, she was sure. He would come to visit her on the seventh day.

The University, the bastion of knowledge, attracts the brightest minds to learn sciences like artificing and alchemy. But beneath those buildings and their bustling classrooms lies a shadowy world. In that labyrinth of ancient tunnels, abandoned halls and rooms, winding staircases, and half-ruined corridors lives Auri, a former student of the University. Now she guards the Underworld, where she has learned that some mysteries are best left undisturbed. She is no longer fooled by the logic so trusted in those above: she knows how to recognize the subtle dangers and forgotten names hidden beneath the surface of things.
