This story takes place shortly after the events of "Monster's Rising : Enter a New World." Despite having made a non-aggression pact with Dracula under several conditions, Gabriel Van Helsing was recently "authorized" to neutralize the terrifying Baba Yaga while she was alone in her magical house on the Siberian border. After imprisoning her in his "trick box," reserved for the most unkillable monsters he has faced in the past, Gabriel returns home to London. However, there, he finds himself confronted by one of the most powerful and terrifying beings on Earth : the Big Bad Wolf ! The latter manages to find his trick box and opens it, unleashing the terrifying monsters imprisoned within, which could cause chaos ! Fortunately, Gabriel can count on the help of his young, but already extremely talented, daughter, Victoria. But not only that, because despite their past, Lord Dracula has heard of what happened and intends to prove to Gabriel that a common future between them is possible by helping him against his monsters, which the hunter refuses at first but, faced with such numerous adversaries, such a helping hand cannot be refused forever. From now on, one thing is certain : the line between monster and hunter is likely to be very thin.
