Plot summary
In 2009 in Hong Kong, Mrs. Lee fights off yaoguai with the Zodiac Warriors, shapeshifters drawn from the Chinese zodiac, and confronts the sorceress Penny Loo. Fifteen years later her grandson Tom is a San Francisco schoolboy who lives in her house and has trouble with a bully. He pulls some charms from the house without knowing what they hold back, and a magical force escapes. Mr. Hu, the tiger of the Warriors, arrives at the house, and Mrs. Lee throws Tom a stone that makes him the next guardian before she sets off the protective charms. Hu carries Tom to a safe place and explains the Warriors' oath to protect the guardian. Tom begins training at the Temple of Twelve.
