A note for parents

This anthology of short stories set in the Critical Role universe features tales tied to a fantasy campaign involving adventure, conflict, and character growth. While the source material (Critical Role's actual play campaign) contains combat and mature themes, this book is explicitly curated for a broader audience and emphasizes emotional depth and heroism over graphic content. The stories explore complex character arcs, moral choices, and relationships within a fantasy setting. Appropriate for mature middle-grade readers and up, with some content better suited to teens.

See Critical Role’s Mighty Nein through the eyes of nine of their friends and foes in this new anthology, with a foreword by Taliesin Jaffe. In these nine stories, the legend of the mighty adventuring party grows with tales from some of the most memorable characters who fought with—and against—the Mighty Nein! Within its pages: • Essek Thelyss grapples with the choices of his past and the potential of his future, as told by Dani Carr. • Isharnai deals with the emotional aftermath of a fate-altering cupcake, as told by Kiri Callaghan. • Pumat Sol returns to his shop after the fight with Obann and the Mighty Nein, only to find that his adventure is not quite done, as told by Mike Chen. • Plus six more hilarious, heartbreaking, and heroic tales featuring Sprinkle, Avantika, Dairon, and more! With their hope, unbreakable bonds, and larger-than-life commitment to heroism in a dark world, Critical Role’s Mighty Nein touched hearts everywhere they went—both those of their fans and their fellow denizens of Exandria. This collection spotlights nine characters whose lives were changed by the Mighty Nein but whose stories have not yet been told.
