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.

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.

One of the top bestselling manhua titles in China, Blades of the Guardians’ dramatic, brutal illustrations and tight, intricate plot will leave readers at the edge of their seats. It is perfect for fans of seinen manga like Vagabond, wuxias like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and world-shaking adventures like The Lord of the Rings.
