The Hell Forged Wizard: An Armageddon Angels Story

by Eric Swett

The Hell Forged Wizard follows the twisted journey of Matthew Finitz—a cunning sorcerer betrayed by the Angel of Death and condemned to the flames of the underworld. But Matthew isn't one to suffer quietly. With each trial, he claws his way toward vengeance, unraveling secrets, forging infernal alliances, and daring to escape the inescapable.

This standalone novella peels back the curtain on one of the villains from The Coming Darkness and A Murder of Wizards, offering readers a raw, unflinching look at how far someone will go to break free… and get even.

About the author

My name is Eric Swett. I’m a writer. I’ll even go so far as to say I’m an author since I have published a book and some short fiction. I am the keeper of this blog and its contents. I originally started this as a place to share my writing, but it has grown into something more. From here I have written four books with another one on the way. I write book reviews and share little tidbits of my life along the way.

Writing is not all that I do though. I work in IT and do a little web design on the side, but believe it or not there is even more to me than my passion and my job.

Above all of that I am a husband and father. I have a beautiful wife named Tracy and three fabulous children (Zachary, Connor, and Kaitlyn). Between the four of them I have absolutely everything I really need in this world. If everything else went away and I still had them, I could die and count myself a fortunate man.

I’m a Christian that believes in science and following the example set by Jesus rather than some odd evolution (see what I did there) of the faith that has publicly strayed from its beginnings.

I’m a self-proclaimed Geek and I do not adhere to a single form of geekdom. I like roleplaying games, tabletop games with painted miniatures, video games, comic books, science fiction and fantasy, Star Wars, Star Trek and Doctor Who. I could fill up this page with all of the geekery I enjoy, but this short list will suffice for now.

A Daring Escape from Hell

I love a great escape from Hell story. This one involves a wizard and a goddess. The book takes us through Hell, the torture sessions, and onto a means of escaping with none other than Aphrodite. The wizard has to keep his wits about him as she toys with him if he were to escape. I am always rooting for the protagonist to escape his torment but when it comes to stories involving Hell you never know. The Hell Forged Wizard keeps you guessing to the end.
