The forces of evil have come back to rip peace from the twice-peaceful Kingdom of Dikay! The land's only hope lies in the one man, who many years ago vanquished the evil tyranny: Van Von Hunter, Hunter of Evil... Stuff! Together with his loyal memory-challenged sidekick, he faces off against the deposed, former ruler of Dikay, who has come back to reclaim his throne!

Book one starts off with the introduction of a cloaked figure and his werewolf companion crossing the border into the newly good-ified land of Dikay. We then explain the history of the mighty warrior Van Von Hunter. Like all Legends, his is not without embellishing. Hence, we end up telling the audience a number of inaccuracies... Von Hunter is a thousand years old, and the like. Only with slick placement of dialogue well within the books will readers eventually start to uncover the real history of Von Hunter. After the history lesson we move on to VVH's side kick. After a terrible and truly earth-shaking explosion caused by the Apoxagedon spell during the final battle with the Flaming Prince, SK lost all of her memories of fighting evil with VVH and was in turn separated from him. That was three years ago. Since that time she found her way to a little village and has been living out her life; totally devoid of her past memories. She lives with an older couple who have taken her in as the daughter they never had and she works as a bar wench. Lo, these past three years, VVH has been roaming the countryside and looking for evil to smite. Oddly, the land has become more and more peace

Van Von Hunter, the Hunter of Evil, and his pretty amnesiac sidekick, whose name nobody can remember, set out to vanquish the deposed Prince of Dikay and end his plan to release evil into the world again, regain his throne, and rule the world as a malevolent tyrant.
