Frequent fantasy violence and action inspired by martial arts. Characters fight using elemental powers and weapons such as daggers, arrows and blades. There are scenes of peril involving explosions, collapsing buildings, fires and extreme weather. Some characters appear to die, and the story includes references to war and genocide, with brief images of piles of bodies. Injuries are shown, but there is no blood or graphic detail.
