Daughter of the Forest: Diary of an Assassin

Read Daughter of the Forest: Diary of an Assassin Storyline:

Emilia is an eight-year-old girl growing up on a remote farm in the Amazon rainforest. With her pale skin, green eyes and curly red hair, she knows that she is different from her brothers and sisters.
Her father calls her Diabinha - little devil.
While hunting in the forest one day, Emilia's father shoots a monkey and gives the baby it was carrying to Emilia as a gift. She names the baby monkey Chips, and he becomes like her own child, clinging to her neck everywhere she goes. At least until one night during a terrible storm, when she is unable to quieten the frightened monkey and her angry father, in a fit of rage, dashes the creature against a wall until it is dead.
Emilia swears revenge upon her father. She follows him everywhere, spying on him as he conducts black magic rituals in the forest by night and destroying the offerings he leaves for the devil. But her defiance earns her only trouble. Her father comes to her room at night. He beats her until he cannot lift his arm anymore. Her mother cannot protect her, and her grandmother, a pagan healer the locals call Bruxa – a witch, tries to cleanse the farm and her father of evil spirits, but her efforts are in vain.
Emilia's father starts disappearing on business more frequently. While he is away on a trip,
Emilia and her brother Lorin steal his journal from a locked chest in his room and start reading it in secret. It appears to detail stories of murders he has committed in service to a local businessman, as well as the tale of how he forced Emilia's mother to marry him else he would kill the man that she really loved.
Emilia and Lorin realise that unless they do something, their father will kill one or perhaps both of them. To try and defend themselves, they convince their grandmother to teach them a black magic spell involving a voodoo doll. In preparation, Emilia sets about stealing her father's hair and clothes in order to make one.
What they discover in the diary however scares the hell out of them, and little Emilia realizes she doesn't actually know her father at all, and that her life really is in mortal danger...
