The Sacrificial Lamb by M.E. Gale

Willow Evans was never meant to die.

One night at a Halloween festival, her brother vanished into the woods along with the truth about her family.

Three years later, her missing father finally returns, promising answers.

Instead of getting the answers she desperately seeks, Willow wakes up bound to a stone altar and sacrificed by a cult led by her own father in the name of Lucifer. She refuses to beg even as the knives fall.

But death isn’t the end.

Willow wakes up in Hell… alive, furious, and very much not supposed to be there.

Trapped in the Underworld, Willow finds herself under the watch of a powerful demon with crimson eyes and far too much interest in her survival.
He claims she’s only a placeholder.

But Willow refuses to wait. She may be dead, but she’s far from finished. If Hell thinks it can keep her prisoner, it’s about to learn a very dangerous lesson.

The Sacrificial Lamb is a dark fantasy perfect for fans of The Book of Azrael, River of Shadows, and Her Soul to Take, blending cult horror and a heroine who refuses to stay dead in the brutal setting of the Underworld.
