They cast him into hell. They should have made sure he stayed there.

I’m thrilled to announce the release of The Hell Forged Wizard, a dark fantasy novella by Eric Swett, now available on Amazon in Paperback, Kindle, and Kindle Unlimited.

This gritty, infernal tale follows Matthew Finitz, a brilliant and ruthless sorcerer who once walked the mortal world with terrifying power—until the Angel of Death betrayed him. Now condemned to the fires of the underworld, Matthew is forced to endure torment, deception, and pain that would break most men.

But Matthew isn’t most men.

With every trial, he grows sharper, darker, and more dangerous. He forges pacts with demons, uncovers secrets buried deep in the abyss, and fights tooth and claw to claw his way back into the land of the living. His goal? Not redemption—revenge.

“The Hell Forged Wizard peels back the curtain on one of the key villains from The Coming Darkness and A Murder of Wizards, revealing the brutal origin of a man who will stop at nothing to take back what was stolen from him.”

This standalone novella is perfect for both longtime readers of the Armageddon Angels series and new fans looking to dip their toes into a world of corrupted angels, vengeful sorcerers, and grim magic that exacts a heavy price.

If you enjoy:

• morally gray antiheroes
• escape-from-hell storylines
• infernal bargains and brutal magic
• prequel tales with teeth
  …then The Hell Forged Wizard will be right up your dark alley.
