Kvothe's Lute

Item from The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss

More than an instrument — a lifeline, an identity, a piece of his murdered family. Kvothe has owned several lutes, and each one has been the most important thing he possesses until it breaks or is taken from him.

Also known as: Kvothe's lute, the lute
