Is it his best friend or his proclaimed enemy? “Dorian the Daring” is a story of adventure, from sword fights to contraband, assassinations to the rescue of fair maidens, including Dorian’s own sister. Finally, after escaping a dungeon torture scene, Dorian realizes what he has to do — and has the chance to do it.
