Resumen del Editor

Delve into the mind of Critical Role’s most charming villain in this original novel that chronicles Lucien’s early life and his fateful meeting with the Mighty Nein.

Lucien has always been able to spin a bad situation to his advantage. From his childhood on the dangerous streets of Shadycreek Run to his years living off the grid and learning blood magic from the Claret Orders, the charismatic blood hunter will find a way to get the upper hand.

When Lucien is on a job in the frozen wastelands of Eiselcross with his fellow mercenaries, a rough-and-tumble crew called the Tombtakers, fate leads him to a mysterious journal in the ruins of an ancient city. The book speaks of the Somnovem, nine beings who can grant Lucien power beyond imagining—if he is able to find them and free them from captivity.

Intrigued by this opportunity, Lucien pores over the journal—but the more he reads, the stranger things become. The nine whisper to him in dreams and waking visions. Time slips away, along with Lucien’s grasp on reality. And tattoos of red eyes begin appearing on his skin. . . .

With the ability to reshape the world within his grasp, Lucien ignores all warning signs. He has always bent fortune to his will, and nothing—not even death—will stop him now.

Written by New York Times bestselling author Madeleine Roux, Critical Role: The Mighty Nein—The Nine Eyes of Lucien explores the meteoric rise and fall of one of Critical Role’s most notorious and tragic figures.

I need more CR books read by Robbie!

Having listened to Kith & Kin, I was so thrilled to learn that Robbie was narrating this book too, along with Matt et al. The amazing story came to life with each voice, those that Robbie does, and those familiar voices from the CR crew.
Madeline's adaptation of Luciens early days had me gripped, and then the story flowed seamlessly into the streamed sequences. I can't wait for more CR character stories, and please, always have Robbie narrate them, as much as I would love to go through his catalogue, most is YA, and I'm definitely looking for books with a little more emphasis on the "A"

Nice

I loved it the story and the people that read it were great much recommended

if you love Critical Role, you will love this stoy

I can't say enough about Robbie's storytelling. I absolutely love how he delivers the story. it has ruined reading them on my own in the best possible way.

The story itself is amazing. Well written, and on brand for the world Matt built. If you are a Critter, then this is a must listen to. If you are a new, spoilers to Campaign 2, but something worth listening to once you have finished Campaign 2.

I hope Madeleine Roux continues writing origin stories, and Robbie keeps reading them for everyone to hear, because I can't get enough.

Keep them coming Critical Role, please!
