The premise

Having escaped years of imprisonment, vampire warrioress Selene finds herself in a changed world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species. Now Selene must battle the humans and a frightening new breed of super Lycans to ensure the death dealers' survival.

Horror Vault's take

Selene, the lethal Death Dealer vampire, awakens from years of captivity to discover the world has been turned upside down — humanity now knows about vampires and Lycans, and is hunting both to extinction. Forced to navigate a hostile new order, she must carve a path through armored human forces and a terrifying evolved breed of Lycan more powerful than anything she has faced before. A surprising personal connection drives her forward even as the odds stack impossibly high. Fast, brutal, and relentless, Awakening raises the stakes for every immortal left standing.
