Over a thousand years ago, the great kingdom of China was under constant
threat of invasion by powerful tribes and warring states along its rugged
western border. For generations, one fiercely-patriotic clan of warriors —
the “Yang” — battled bravely in the nation’s defense.
The widows of the clan pleaded with the Emperor, whose own court had become
weakened by corruption and greed, to send reinforcements. But none came. Soon,
the last remaining Yang soldiers were overwhelmed by a sea of bloodthirsty
invaders. Distraught and incensed, the Yang widows — a few hundred strong
and many of whom also seasoned warriors — took arms and set off to the
western border. But even before reaching the enemy, the journey itself would be
fraught with peril. In their determination to avenge the deaths of their loved
ones, the Widow Warriors would face the full fury of nature’s most
destructive forces, a vast enemy army with sorcery and monsters on its side, and
perhaps most powerful of all, the demons within themselves!
