Rise of the Lycans

By Greg Cox

Book Overview

For untold centuries, a secret conflict has been waged between two immortal rivals: The vampires - ageless aristocrats with a sensual appetite for blood and luxury. Among their ranks are the Death Dealers, an elite corps of the undead sworn to the destruction of their ancestral enemies... The werewolves - feral warriors capable of transforming into hellish beasts of unearthly power and ferocity. Once the enslaved servants of the vampires, the savage lycans now fight tooth and claw against their former masters. Throughout history, the clandestine war has been fought in the shadows of the mortal world. And the seeds of this destructive conflict were sown long ago, when a young lycan lost his heart to a beautiful vampire princess...

Werewolves ❤️Vampires

So glad I found this book. It's awesome

If you like the movie then you'll love the book!

Okay, I read the book before I saw the movie. I would not say that it was a mistake, it's just that the book goes into so much more detail than the movie, however simialr they are. If you saw the movie and liked it definately read the book, it's well worth it!

A fan's delight!

Underworld:the rise of the lycans

First of all I haven't seen the movie yet. The book was great and if the movie is the same as the book, its going to be a hit. I could'nt put the book down. It was easy to follow and kept me glue to the story. Learning about Sonja and Lucian and what the lycans were like was breath taking. And finding out about Viktor and how he treated his own daughter, he was evil to the very end. I really enjoyed reading the book. The only thing that was not mention was, who was Amelia and where did she come from? Thank you, Rachel

Underworld of how it all began

This book gives us the full scope of how the war between the vampires and the lycans began. The author captures it so well no wonder he has written all of the underworld stories. Thank you Mr. Cox for giving us what we wanted to know about how it all began. I am a true fan of all the underworld novels and movies.
