Oh boy, it’s a full Graphic Audio production so we are just vomiting exposition to the soft plucking of a tavern harp. Forget “Show, Don’t Tell,” when you can have “Tell, With Harp.”

Alright so we just met a startlingly handsome guard with the unfortunate name of “Hawk Flynn”. He’s chiseled, tall, and is described as having predatory grace, beautiful eyes, and hidden agony. A little on the nose, but for sure our male main love interest.

Brooo the mysterious bad guy has a nickname and that nickname is “The Dark One”. Can’t wait for “The Dark One” to be super noble and misunderstood and also our male main love interest
