The Assassin: The Pre-Sequel

Finished

During the Tang Dynasty, ten-year-old Nie Yinniang, the daughter of a general, is promised to her cousin Tian Ji'an. She is abducted by a nun who trains her in martial arts in the isolated mountains. Over three years, Yinniang becomes a skilled fighter, but her lingering humanity hinders her path to becoming a flawless assassin.

Two more years pass. Yinniang and her nun master engage in a blindfolded sword fight in a moonlit bamboo forest. This test could end Yinniang's apprenticeship or mark the beginning of a long and bitter journey.
