Madeleine Roux

Madeleine Roux is an American fiction author. She wrote The Nine Eyes of Lucien, the second Critical Role novel. Outside of Critical Role, she has written several young adult paranormal and horror fiction novels, two adult science fiction novels, and several licensed novels and short stories for World of Warcraft, Dungeons & Dragons, and Star Wars.

She described writing The Nine Eyes of Lucien as "the most experimental and riskiest IP book that has been published to date" and felt that the novel was moving outside of typical ideas of what a licensed novel for an established brand is. She was excited to work with Matthew Mercer, Taliesin Jaffe, and the team at Critical Role Productions, particularly by their willingness to experiment. She believed her background in horror writing is a reason she was asked to write the novel.
