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.

Act 3 of Campaign 2 from the other side

Really enjoyed this, it brings a lot of depth to Lucien and paints him as a somewhat tragic mad king. It was never really his fault.

Robbie Raymond is excellent, but his pronunciation is bizarrely off in places, most notably how he says Fjord's name. Not enough to lose any stars though; 5/5 across the board from this OG Critters.

another great book.

What a great listen. Robbie Daymond is really fantastic. I really enjoy the retelling from the show sometime and the actors delivery of the lines here, they give me a more serious feel to the characters compared to the show where they do to the nature of the game sometime feel a bit more nervous. all in all great story.

Emotional like the Campaign

After finishing Campaign 2, I knew that I had to pock this up and see through the eyes of Lucian. And this did not disappoint, Robbie did a fantastic job as core Narrator with also the Cast of Critical Role reprising thier C2 characters was amazing.

An absolute must listen!

Blown away by this insight into Lycian’s world and background that bought him to be one of my most memorable villains in Critical Role IMO. A tragic story of a mad king. Long may he reign!

Mighty, so mighty

A very well written story, but the main aspects that really highlight its writing is the performance done by Daymond, Mercer & the cast of Critical Role. Truly phenomenal work
