" I took his name, Erawan spat, writhing as the words flowed from his tongue
under Damaris’s power. I wiped it away from existence. Yet he only remembered
it once. Only once. The first time he beheld you.
Tears slid down Dorian’s face at that unbearable truth.
Perhaps his father had unknowingly hidden his name within him, a final
kernel of defiance against Erawan. And had named his son for that defiance, a
secret marker that the man within still fought. Had never stopped fighting.
Dorian. His father’s name.
Dorian let go of Damaris’s hilt.
Yrene’s breathing turned ragged. Now—it had to be now.
Even with the Valg king before him, something in Dorian’s chest eased.
Healed over. "

― Sarah J. Maas , Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass, #7)
