Check out Wayne Barlowe's God's Demon, which is inspired by—but different from—Milton's Paradise Lost. I enjoyed this book a lot, even though it was quite different from what I was expecting.
God's Demon by Wayne Barlowe has to be one of the best books I have ever read!!! Read the synopsis below and it should definitely pique your interest!
Synopsis:
The powerful Lord Sargatanas, Brigadier-general in Beelzebub’s host, is restless. For millennia Sargatanas has ruled dutifully over an Infernal metropolis, but he has never forgotten what he lost in the Fall. He is sickened by what he has done and what he has become. Now, with a small event—a confrontation with a damned soul—he makes a decision that will reverberate through every being in Hell. Sargatanas decides to attempt the impossible, to rebel, to win his way Home and bring with him anyone who chooses to follow...be they demon or soul.
He will stake everything on fighting all the abominable forces of Hell arrayed against him, when the prize is nothing less than redemption.
Bonus: He recruits Hannibal Barca. That WHOLE chapter gave me goosebumps.
Barlowe is particularly inspired. Check out https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Demon-Wayne-Barlowe/dp/0765335778 as well.
