Mehr zum Buch

Explore the early life of Critical Role’s most charming villain in this original novel. Lucien, a charismatic blood hunter, has always turned adversity to his advantage, from his childhood on the perilous streets of Shadycreek Run to his years learning blood magic with the Claret Orders. While on a mission in the frozen wastelands of Eiselcross with the mercenary group known as the Tombtakers, Lucien discovers a mysterious journal in the ruins of an ancient city. This journal details the Somnovem, nine beings capable of granting him unimaginable power—if he can locate and free them. As Lucien delves deeper into the journal, he experiences increasingly strange occurrences. The nine begin to whisper to him through dreams and visions, and he loses track of time and reality. Tattoos of red eyes appear on his skin, signaling a connection to forces beyond his understanding. Despite the warnings, Lucien, confident in his ability to manipulate fate, continues his quest for power, believing nothing—not even death—can deter him. Written by New York Times bestselling author Madeleine Roux, this narrative examines the rise and fall of one of Critical Role’s most infamous and tragic characters.
