Catalyst

From publisher blurb: Sometimes when a mediocre life has you bogged down, you take a trip to clear the cobwebs and look for something bigger than yourself. While traipsing through Europe, Aurthur Brunner found himself drawn to an oddities shop where he fell into items of alchemy. It wasn't long before he was almost sacrificed as part of sorcerer’s ritual! Finding out you are a latent sorcerer from a long line of them can have explosive results. The explosion took care of his captors and branded him as the alchemical menace, Catalyst!
