Grimdark narrator: Easton

Grimdark narrator, deep, brutal, and bleak

Prompt: A deep, harsh male voice for grimdark fantasy. His rough baritone is brutal and unflinching, at home with betrayal and blood, immersive and bleak. There's a there-are-no-good-choices-only-survivable-ones weight in his tone. The sound of a narrator who makes a rotten kingdom feel like the only honest kind there is.

Script: They crowned the boy king in the spring, and by the first frost, three of the men who'd knelt to him were dead: two by poison and one by his own hand. And the boy himself had learned the first and only lesson the throne ever teaches: that mercy is a debt, and every debt comes due.
