Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

Best audiobook read out there

Excellent narration followed by a fantastic fantasy tale of greed and ambition. I enjoyed the story and after watching two seasons of Vox Machina I wanted more storytelling in this universe. This is my first introduction to Lucien and I enjoyed it.

Long May He Reign

Enjoyed it a lot, Lucien’s history and the rest of the tomb takers and how things happened on the other side of the M9’s story.

Might have just been my speakers but sometimes the audio from Beau and Caleb came out a bit weird- tinny, almost? Just an observation.

Another CR hit

A great story, beautifully presented. I had fun picking who was Matt, who was Robbie.

An enrapturing expansion on the M9

What incredible writing, narration, and acting. It creates such an additional depth to Molly and the final arc of Critical Role campaign 2, it enhances it and enhances itself through its touchstones. A beautiful and fulfilling exploration of the backstory of a fallen player character, beautifully read by Robbie and the cast of CR. Amazing. On to the next one!

hard to follow

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with campaign 2 and this book did not hold up on its own in isolation of the campaign.

Robbie did a great job narrating as usual.

Struggles to stand up on it's own

Excellently narrated with nice cameos from the Critical Role team, however the story simply doesn't hold up on it's own without Critical Role Campaign 2 insight. Character development isn't well defined and the story arc somewhat forced.

If you're a fan of Critical Role you'll enjoy this book (as did I), however I wouldn't recommend outside the critter community.
