Plot:
For centuries the blood-drenched feud between the sophisticated clan of Vampires and the feral race of lycanthropes, or the Lycans, has been kept secret, but after the rise and fall of the all-powerful original vampire, Marcus Corvinus, in Underworld: Evolution (2006), humankind finally discovers the existence of both species. Now, as the bestial shape-shifters and the agile blood-suckers are on the brink of extinction, the former Death Dealer, Selene, reawakens from her cryogenic slumber more than a decade later, to find herself in a strange new world of heavily-armed humans, where the few remaining pockets of both races have gone underground. Under those dire circumstances, and against the backdrop of systematic vampire/werewolf purges, Selene is in for a big surprise:a feral hybrid holds the key to a well-orchestrated conspiracy. Can Selene avert the advent of an invincible super-breed?
