Ronin

In a mythical land of samurai and spirits, a battle-scarred ronin must escort and protect a prophesied child across a dangerous world of yokai and ancient magic. Pursued by a fallen god who commands an army of monsters and seeks the power of the heavens, the ronin and the young chosen one are joined by a band of unlikely allies on an epic journey—one that will decide the fate of both the mortal world and the realm of the gods.
