The Sacrifice

At three in the morning, the camera footage shows the little girl, Rachel, asleep next to a black specter. She wakes up and sits up in her bed, speaking to it in a strange language. Then the specter disappears, and Rachel rises from her seat and looks at the wall. Then she sings a haunting, frightening tune in the same strange language, gasping and screaming. Afterward, she freezes for a minute and then falls back asleep. In this novel: An innocent girl, no more than nine years old, is possessed by an evil spirit, demanding her right to be sacrificed. A defiled pact with the underworld must be fulfilled, or everyone will meet a terrifying fate. How can the poor girl be saved despite the betrayal of those closest to her? Between the struggle with hidden forces and the betrayal of those closest to her, saving Rachel becomes a matter that requires more than just courage or a substitute sacrifice. Can Aunt Maureen control the demonic portal of evil before she loses Rachel forever?
