Nachdem sie zwölf Jahre lang in einem komatösen Zustand gehalten wurde, erfährt die Vampirin Selene, dass sie Mutter einer ebenso alten Tochter namens Eve ist. Diese ist halb Vampir und halb Lykaner. Als Selene versucht den Mensch-Lykaner und vermeintlichen Vater Michael zu finden, muss sie feststellen, dass die Welt nicht die ist, die sie einmal war. Denn nun sind es die Menschen, die die größten Feinde der Vampire sind. Seitdem die Menschheit von der Existenz der Vampire und Lykaner weiss, versucht sie beide auszurotten. Um dies zu verhindern, ziehen Selene und ihre neue Familie alle Register und wollen zu diesem Zweck ihrem größten Gegner, der Organisation Antigen, das Handwerk legen, die mit dem Erschaffen von Super-Lykanern den Tod aller bedeuten würden.

Underworld: Il risveglio

Sono trascorsi quindici anni da quando Selene e il suo compagno Michael hanno sconfitto l’Anziano Marcus, ma da allora il genere umano ha scoperto l’esistenza sia dei Vampiri che dei Lycan e ha scatenato una guerra senza quartiere per sterminarli. Selene, catturata, si risveglia dopo oltre dieci anni e si ritrova prigioniera in un laboratorio di Antigen, una potente compagnia biotech impegnata a sviluppare un vaccino contro i virus che hanno creato Vampiri e Lycan. Selene, distrutta dalla scoperta che Michael è morto, viene inoltre a sapere che, mentre era in stato criogenico, ha dato alla luce una bambina, Eve. Alla ricerca di un rifugio per sé e per la figlia, Selene scopre che il suo orgoglioso popolo è stato cacciato fin quasi all’estinzione e che i pochi sopravvissuti, nascosti nel sottosuolo, la respingono.

Part of Underworld Collection

A centuries-old war is waged between vampires and lycans (short for lycanthrope, from the Greek 'luk' [wolf] + 'ánthrōpos' [human], or werewolf). It begins with a fifth-century man, the sole survivor of a plague that wipes out his village. Somehow, his body turns the disease to his benefit, and afterward, he ceases to age. After living secretly, he moves often to prevent his immunity to the ravages of time from being discovered, even marrying on occasion. After he fathers twin sons who also inherit his gift, they learn its ultimate price after they become the first vampire and lycan after one suffers a bite from a bat and the other from a wolf. Once they learn they can "turn" normal humans into others like them by inflicting their bites on them, they terrorize the nearby countryside, taking from them either victims or tribute. The vampires ultimately enslave the Lycans until love leads to the Lycans' escape, igniting a bitter war that seems destined to have no end.
