“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”

― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
In 2007, Patrick Rothfuss’ debut novel ‘The Name of the Wind’ was published, and he quickly gained a following enthralled with the tale of Kvothe and his journeys in the world of Temerant. In 2008, surprised and inspired by the size of his fan base, he announced a contest to benefit his mother’s favorite charity Heifer International that included books from his personal collection and a promise to match donations dollar for dollar. Overwhelmed by the response and encouraged by the possibilities to do more good in the world, he enlisted some friends and started Worldbuilders.
Over a decade later, we are extremely grateful to everyone that has contributed to our journey both here and through our many fundraisers that have allowed us to raise more than $10 million dollars for charities around the world. And with that, we are excited to offer the 10th Anniversary Edition of the remarkable novel that started it all, signed by the author and founder of Worldbuilders.
Signed regular edition copies of The Name of the Wind are available here.

Patrick Rothfuss was born in Madison, Wisconsin to awesome parents. After nine years at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, he accidentally had enough credits to graduate with an English degree. Patrick then went to grad school. He’d rather not talk about it. In March 2007, The Name of the Wind was published and met with surprising success. In the years since, it has been translated into 30 languages, won all manner of awards, and become a bestseller in several countries. After a great deal of work and a few raised eyebrows from his patient editor, Wise Man’s Fear came out in March 2011, immediately hitting #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. When not working on the third book of the series, Pat plays with his kiddos, makes mead, and runs Worldbuilders, a geek-centered charity that has raised more than a million dollars for Heifer International.
