Underworld: Blood Wars 2017

As the final factions of vampire covens stand on the brink of annihilation due to the relentless Lycans, a desperate battle for survival unfolds over Selene. The vampires are out for vengeance after the death of Viktor, while the Lycans, led by Marius, plan to exploit Selene’s link to Eve, whose blood is believed to hold the secret to creating a powerful army of hybrids. In this tense environment, Semira, a member of the Eastern Coven council, urges Thomas to advocate for Selene at their assembly. With determination, they manage to secure a pardon for her, contingent upon her compliance.

With Selene back in action alongside David, she begins to train a new generation of Death Dealers for the impending conflict. However, deceit and betrayal loom as Semira and Varga hatch a treacherous plot against her. They poison Selene, murder the trainees, and cleverly frame her for the atrocious acts. Captivated in Semira’s scheme, Selene becomes a target, as Semira seeks to drain her blood to inherit her powers. Undeterred, Thomas and David embark on a perilous rescue mission to save her, though the attempt results in Thomas’s tragic demise.

Seeking sanctuary, Selene finds refuge with the Nordic Coven but is pursued by Alexia, a vampire sent from the Eastern Coven by Semira. At the Nordic stronghold of Var Dohr, Elder Vidar discloses a long-concealed secret: David is the son of Grand Elder Amelia and Thomas’s true love, hidden away due to Viktor’s possessiveness. This revelation grants David his rightful claim as the Eastern Coven’s heir.

When the Lycans, under Marius, lead a siege on Var Dohr in search of Selene, she unites with the Nordic vampires, led by Lena, Vidar’s daughter. In the fray, Alexia fatally wounds Selene, but Marius soon realizes that Eve’s whereabouts are still a mystery, compelling him to retreat. As battle rages, Selene surrenders herself to the icy depths of a lake, resigning to her fate.

Meanwhile, at the Eastern Coven, Semira indulges in the blood she has taken from Selene, only to learn from Alexia’s return that the Nordic Coven has been attacked. Filled with rage, Semira sends Alexia away and isolates herself in her prison cell. David makes his return to the Eastern Coven, asserting his right to leadership and denouncing Semira’s treachery. Even Varga, once her ally, abandons her, aligning himself with David and leaving Semira trapped in her dark prison.

As Marius’s brutal assault on the coven unfolds, their defenses weaken, and the castle begins to crumble under the pressure. With daylight penetrating the stronghold, many vampires are lost, while others are rendered defenseless. In the midst of this turmoil, David fights fiercely to protect the young warriors, earning admiration for his bravery, though he ultimately finds himself locked in combat with Marius.

Just when despair appears insurmountable, Selene dramatically returns from the shadows, transformed by her resurrection through the Nordic Coven. Adorned in a coat over her classic Death Dealer uniform, she now wields newfound powers, including remarkable speed. Her swift actions turn the tide, swiftly dispatching the Lycans while her newfound allies rally together to drive back the intruders.

At the same time, Semira escapes her confinement, wreaking havoc on the guards. Selene and David confront Marius, only for his cunning to separate them, leaving David vulnerable to Semira’s wrath. Marius’s blood mixes with Selene’s lips, inundating her with visions of his memories, including the painful murder of Michael Corvin by Marius.

Overwhelmed by despair, Selene bites her wrist, unleashing the powerful memories within her blood, recalling happier moments with Michael. Fueled by a mix of rage and grief, she delivers a lethal blow, severing Marius’s spine and putting an end to his terror. In the aftermath, David prevails over Semira and presents Marius’s severed head to the retreating Lycans, encouraging them to carry away their injured.

Following these battles, Selene, David, and Lena are honored with the esteemed title of Elder, recognizing their exceptional courage in the face of adversity. The story also unveils that Selene, after her resurrection, reconnected with Eve, whose telepathic guidance played a pivotal role in Selene’s survival through treacherous challenges. This serves as a profound testament to the unshakeable bonds formed during their harrowing journey together.
