Lucifer and Amalie’s Story is a two-book series by S.J. West, published in 2019. Surrendering the Dark sets up the unlikely romance between Lucifer and Amalie, two characters from opposite ends of the supernatural spectrum. Descending into the Abyss continues their story as the consequences of their relationship ripple outward.
West leans into darker territory with this duology compared to some of her other work. The central romance is built on tension between what the characters want and what their natures demand of them. Readers who enjoy forbidden romance with real stakes and well-developed supernatural lore will appreciate how West handles Lucifer as a romantic lead without softening him into something unrecognizable. The two books are short and focused, making them an easy entry point for readers curious about the darker side of her interconnected universe.
