Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Underworld,
Underworld: Evolution, and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, depict two
humanoid races living among humans in secret, Vampires and Lycans
(werewolves) and the creation of a Lycan-Vampire hybrid. After William
was imprisoned, Viktor, Markus and Amelia settled in as rulers of the
Vampires, becoming the Vampire Elders, creating the covens as the main
organization of the Vampires. However, Viktor took control from Markus,
ensuring he would never have the strength to free his brother. The coven
later embarked on an ill-fated scheme to turn the surviving Lycans into
slaves, using them to guard their castle in the daylight. They did not
have human form until Lucian was born, he was the first werewolf born in
human form, as seen in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. However, after
the romance and subsequent pregnancy between Viktor's daughter Sonja and
the Lycan slave Lucian was discovered, Sonja was executed, along with
her and Lucian's unborn child, and the war began.
