With the ability to reshape the world within his grasp, Lucien ignores all warning signs. And tattoos of red eyes begin appearing on his skin.

Time slips away, along with Lucien’s grasp on reality. The nine whisper to him in dreams and waking visions. Intrigued by this opportunity, Lucien pores over the journal-but the more he reads, the stranger things become. 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. 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. 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. Lucien has always been able to spin a bad situation to his advantage. So who is Lucien?ĭelve 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. While we know a little about Lucien from later Campaign 2, he is one of the most interesting and still unknown players in the “dance” of the story of both the Mighty Nein. Unlike the Twins’ story though, this book will cover a much more unknown piece of Critical Role lore, who was Mollymauk before Molly was “born”?

Much like the KITH AND KIN Vox Machina book before it, this Mighty Nein story will be a prequel to the on stream content of campaign 2. UM EXCUSE ME!? LUCIEN/MOLLY BACKSTORY? LORE DROP?
