The Legend of Kyrandia: Book One is the first game in the Legend of Kyrandia series. It follows Brandon, an inhabitant of the Kingdom of Kyrandia, as he attempts to free both his grandfather and the kingdom itself from an evil curse. Throughout the game, Brandon learns who caused the curse, as well as the secrets to his own origin. Brandon must find the Kyragem, the mystic stone that can remove the curse, and defeat the man who cursed the kingdom of Kyrandia, the evil jester Malcolm.
