Book Description

Jen Hunter is not your average bank robber, not after she's betrayed by her friend Chris Cannon. After a chance rooftop encounter she seemingly develops super powers, strength, agility, flying and she starts to make a dent in the criminal organization known as Big Crime. English tourist Sarah Sixpence finally meets her pen pal Choi Mei in Hong Kong. The two young women quickly get involved in a series of strange events each of which sees Mei infused with new powers and a new tattoo on her skin, that can move about it at will. Mei and Sarah discover that Mei is fated to accumulate all the legendary powers of the zodiac animals and become a great super hero. Sarah develops powers of her own along the way, and the two of them move to Mei's uncle's academy to train themselves in kung fu. Back in London Jen is assigned a teacher to instruct her in the way of morality and restraint. Only one candidate is found, Varya Koshmara, who is later revealed to be the legendary warrior Malice Latimer!
