blames himself for all of it. The rebellion, Abraxas, Lilith, Cocytus, Astarothā€”heā€™s holding himself accountable. He wants to be put on trial for his crimes. To be judged by the people of Hell. And itā€™s very likely there will be people who arenā€™t happy about itā€”people of the wing-and-halo variety.ā€

Anael shrugged. ā€œWhy do you think anyone in Heaven would care? The Adversary is back in Hell where he belongs.ā€

ā€œBecause of what he says is his greatest crimeā€”keeping the Divine Choirā€™s secret.ā€

ā€œSecret? What are you babbling about?ā€

Maraā€™s gaze intensified. ā€œI think you know exactly what Iā€™m talking about. You were one of the few he told. But now, Raum has let everyone in Hell in on that secret.ā€

Anaelā€™s face went ashen. She of course remembered when Lucifer told her that the Presence did not actually exist, but was simply a creation by the Divine Choir to control the angels. Back then, she balked at such a notion, finding it utterly ridiculous. She hadnā€™t thought about that in ages, still thinking it was some lie Lucifer had told her. Now she was beginning to doubt that.

ā€œRaum broadcast the truth all across Hell. Every demon now knows the truth. And you know it wonā€™t be long before word spreads to Heaven as well,ā€ said Mara.

Anael shrugged and picked up her drink. ā€œI donā€™t get it. What does any of this have to do with me? If heā€™s telling the truth, then thatā€™s a problem for the Choir to deal with. And if heā€™s lying, then itā€™s now become Hellā€™s problem.ā€

ā€œAs I said, Lucifer wants to be put on trial. To plead his case before the people of Hell and then accept whatever judgment they impose on him,ā€ said Mara. ā€œBut every case needs a defense. And Lucifer has said that the only defense heā€™ll accept is yours.ā€

The glass slipped from Anaelā€™s grasp and shattered on the lounge floor.

Afterword

When I sat down to plan this book, I had a pretty rough idea of what I wanted to doā€”Lucifer returning to Hell. That was where we left him off at the end of the last book, after all.

But then I asked myself a question that really helped form the foundation of this storyā€”what if Lucifer didnā€™t want to go back? And that seemed to fit with his character. Lucifer as Iā€™ve been writing him has been evading responsibility pretty much his entire life. And even though heā€™s realized he needs to take more responsibility for his actions, thereā€™s always that push and pull between what you know you should do and what you actually want to do.

So I came up with the idea of Luciferā€™s lack of responsibility coming back to haunt him. This also gave me the opportunity to pick up on another character introduced in the Luther Cross booksā€”and thatā€™s Raum. In the larger scheme of things, he was a minor character when he appeared. But he seemed to be the perfect fit for this story.

Iā€™m very happy with the way this book turned out. I feel like this book especially marks a huge turning point in Luciferā€™s development. And Iā€™m excited to see just where the character will go in the next book.

That book is on its way. The gears in my head are already turning for what will be called Lucifer Judged. See you then!
