About the author and his book
Grant Stock is currently serving as a high school principal in rural Missouri school district. He received a bachelor’s in physics and chemistry from Utah Valley University and began his career in education as a high school science teacher. A love for science and fantasy fiction led Grant to begin writing a book titled The Lords of Alchemy. While writing his book, The Lords of Alchemy, he also taught school, coached basketball, finished his master’s degree in education from William Woods University, and raised a family of seven children. He is currently working on his doctorate with Liberty University. Many say that Grant started writing The Lords of Alchemy because he was bored and had nothing else to do.
Here is a brief synopsis of The Lords of Alchemy:
Incredible power, an impossible task, the beginning of a new age.
A sixteen year old boy named Zen Storm finds himself fleeing for his life when his town is attacked by a warrior race known as the Shrakes. Unknown to Zen, he is one of the last descendants of the Lords of Alchemy, who could not only change led into gold but had the power to transmute all matter. Fearing their destruction at the hands of the Shrakes, the Lords of Alchemy created a bio-cybernetic interface designed to impart the power and knowledge of their Alchemy. While fleeing from the Shrakes, Zen finds himself led to an underground cavern where the Lords of Alchemy have hid this technology. Using this interface, Zen learns how to transmute matter.
This knowledge leads Zen to a beautiful young woman named Dela Rae, who can also transmute matter. Dela and Zen form a hidden movement which is gathering the few remaining descendants of the Lords of Alchemy in an attempt to overthrow the Shrakes. But the Shrakes have discovered their movement and have the technology to block their ability to transmute matter. Zen finds himself falling in love, searching for descendants, and fighting to survive as he and Dela are swept up in a war that is destined to change their entire world.

Note: Because of feedback I received from my readers I pulled my book from amazon and payed a professional editor to help with some of the grammar errors. I also am fixing some other areas that were suggested by my editor. It is now back on Amazon at the following website:
