Posted by In October, Del Rey a division of Penguin Random House is set to release Critical Role: Vox Machina – Kith & Kin. This original novel and brand new adventure will be based on characters from the fiercely popular Dungeons and Dragons show Critical Role.
Written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp (This Is Where It Ends, Even If We Break, and The Oracle Code). Her short stories can be found in several anthologies.
“I spent so much of my time growing up pouring over fantasy series,” said Laura Bailey who plays Vex’ahlia in Critical Role. “I always searched for new ways to find out more about the characters I loved. It’s kind of surreal to get to do that now with the characters we created. The twins are a part of Liam and I, deeply ingrained, and I can’t wait to uncover more of their relationship with this story.”
The Story So Far
Kith & Kin will follow the cunning ranger Vex’ahlia and her conning rouge twin brother Vax’ildan (and, of course, Trinket) several years before they meet Vox Machina. After leaving the unwelcome arms of Syngorn, the twins find themselves tangled up within a web spun by the Clasp. For the first time, Vex and Vax find themselves on the opposite side of a conflict that threatens the home they have carried with each other for years.
“It’s hard for me to think of something more central to all my memories of Critical Role than the bond between the twins,” said Liam O’Brien who plays Vax’ildan on Critical Role. “Discovering and creating their story and their friendship with Laura has been one of the greatest parts of this entire journey and I’m thrilled to dive deeper into their past together with this book.”
Critical Role: Vox Machina – Kith & Kin releases on October 26, 2021, and is available for pre-order. For full details and more information, head to CriticalRoleBooks.com
