“It was night again. The Waystone Inn lay in silence, and it was a silence of three parts.”
On the third and final day, Kvothe continues his story. The truth behind the Chandrian, the Amyr, the Doors of Stone, and the name of the wind itself. Every secret has a price. Every door, a key. And some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
