The Tiger’s Apprentice

After the sudden death of his grandmother, Tom Lee’s life takes an unexpected turn. What seemed like a period of mourning and adjustment quickly transforms into an adventure that will change his destiny forever. Tom discovers that he is part of an ancient and powerful lineage known as the Guardians—magical protectors who maintain the balance between the human world and the mystical forces that surround it.

This surprising legacy not only connects him to his family’s past, but also to a millennia-old tradition rooted in Eastern astrology and ancestral wisdom. Guided by Hu, a mythical talking tiger who becomes his mentor, Tom begins to explore his newfound abilities and his role in an imminent battle against an evil force that threatens to plunge humanity into darkness.

Hu is not alone in this mission. Alongside him are the other animals of the Chinese Zodiac—each with unique personalities and special powers—who form a team of mythical warriors that have served as guides and defenders through the centuries. These twelve animals, including the dragon, the snake, the monkey, and the rooster, not only represent different aspects of human character, but also embody a powerful connection between the spiritual and physical worlds.
