What if Lucifer has a chance to redeem himself and reform Hell? This is the thought-provoking premise in The Devil's Redemption: The Halcyon Atonement by Ordin K. Cambel. Howe has been elected by the human race as their last hope. But the war against the Draconians could prove to be a losing battle unless Howe and his team wield a weapon far stronger than nukes and S.A. lasers. But Howe is not yet worried about the outcome of the war, as he aids Lucifer in obtaining a tool of power that can be found in the Draconian homeworld—a sacred artifact known as the Cube. With the use of blood, it has the power to change reality. Lucifer will once again raise the sword of the Word of God and affirm that the Lord is his light and his salvation.

The Devil's Redemption may be a work of fiction, and it may not intend to upset the status quo of religious beliefs, but a story that aims to redeem the Devil is likely to raise eyebrows and open the doors to a fascinating book discussion. But then, why not? If you are familiar with biblical stories, Lucifer was once an angel who was thrown out of heaven for challenging God’s authority—kind of like an ancient version of today’s cancel culture. As Ordin K. Cambel involves speculative fiction with religious elements, the storyline seriously argues that the marriage between Heaven and Hell is a great idea, as it will redeem lost and damned souls—but a dream that asks for many sacrifices. It is a dark story that aims to come out bearing an inextinguishable torch. Cambel is playing with the allegory of the human condition, and his vibrant prose breathes life into the existence, causality, and truth of the world that he has created. The Devil’s Redemption is a treat for fans of religious and philosophical fantasy.

Set in the future and a world very similar to ours, we have a set of characters all of whom have a goal to reach and a quest to fulfill. In a story of redemption and second chances, one of the protagonists of the story is Lucifer who wants to redeem himself and make Hell a place for rehabilitation and not pain. On the other hand, we have Howe and his group of friends given the burden of saving humanity from an alien invasion. If Howe and his friends succeed, they will help Lucifer get back into God’s good graces and fulfill his desire to redeem Hell.

Filled with satisfying twists and turns, The Devil's Redemption by Ordin K. Campbell had me sitting on the edge of my seat and holding my breath. Howe is a wholesome and complete character. From the moment he discovered his powers until the final scene, he had my attention and my support. The orphic ring was a nice touch and the powers it granted Howe added even more fun. From sinners to the faithful, the story has a complete cast of characters with a convincing redemption arc for all. I loved Lorenn’s character a lot maybe because I could relate to her more. The plot is intense, but it is handled perfectly. All of the subplots have their own pace and do not interrupt the main plot. The dialogue is fun, the situations are intense at times and the overall feel of the story is great. I especially enjoyed the mystery behind the Yggdrasil Egg and its importance to Lucifer. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys Christian fiction with plenty of drama.

This makes for a truly emotional read with impactful dialogue and varied approaches and scene-play, which keeps everything fresh and interesting whilst you’re on the edge of your seat. I also really enjoyed the gritty, urban feel of the action and the stripped-back description that allows the actions of the characters to speak for themselves.
