Blades of the Guardians Volume 4 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419785023)

In ancient China, a lone swordsman risks everything to protect a child destined to change the world. True Grit meets The Last Samurai

Set in ancient China during the fall of a ruthless empire, bounty hunter Dao Ma breaks his code to protect a child and becomes the hunted. What begins as a routine escort mission turns into an epic fight for survival against assassins, warlords, and the forces of fate.

When a sandstorm provides stopgap cover for the group to flee, Ayuya separates from Dao Ma to stay behind and take revenge into her own hands. Elsewhere, a much-awaited glimpse into Zhi Shi Lang's past. In all the bloodshed, enlightenment appears. Just what did Shi Lang experience to become the cryptic insurgent he is now?

Blades of the Guardians blends the intensity of True Grit, the heart of The Mandalorian, and the grand intrigue of Game of Thrones. A breathtaking martial-arts fantasy rooted in Chinese history, filled with brutal action, haunting beauty, and fierce compassion.
