Nyhm's Legacy

Book Two of the Avalair Series

In the storm-laced land of Avalair, where ancient elements shape destinies and prophecy cuts deeper than any blade, Alax of Feyshire dreams only of belonging. Shunned for his lack of magic and haunted by the shadows of forgotten legends, he stumbles into a birthright both wondrous and cursed: the spark of the Omnimage—an ancient power thought lost to myth. Thrust from the quiet rhythms of his village into the perilous halls of the Mage Academy of Avalair, Alax finds himself hunted by powers both mortal and monstrous, caught in a bitter struggle between the ruthless ambitions of the Academy’s elders and the cold hunger of a rising darkness.

As unlikely bonds form with a brash dragonkin princess, a storm-scarred street thief, and a ragtag circle of outcasts, Alax must battle not only the foes massing at Avalair’s gates, but the growing storm within his own heart. With love twisting into obsession, loyalty torn by betrayal, and the prophecy’s weight threatening to break him, he must find the courage to wield his power—or risk losing everything to the shadows eager to devour the dawn.

Epic, heartfelt, and relentless, Nyhm’s Legacy weaves friendship, sacrifice, and forbidden longing into a tale where every choice reshapes fate itself. In a world on the edge of chaos, only those who dare to forge their own legends can hope to escape the chains of destiny.

About John Sorynson

John Sorynson is a globe-trotting wordsmith whose passion for storytelling knows no borders. From the frozen cities to the sun-drenched islands, his life has been shaped by the rich tapestry of cultures he’s experienced firsthand. Now calling Texas home, John continues to draw from his journeys to craft immersive, emotionally resonant tales that transport readers to faraway realms.


A lifelong lover of fantasy, John found much needed solace as a child between the pages of spellbound tomes filled with dragons, ancient prophecies, and unlikely heroes. Books became his sanctuary, and their magic never left him. Fueled by a desire to give others the same escape, wonder, and sense of belonging that fantasy once gave him, he began writing his own stories—each one laced with heart, mystery, and adventure.


Beyond the page, John is a dynamic speaker and mentor, having hosted numerous writing seminars on the fantasy genre and worldbuilding in general. His humanitarian heart shines through his volunteer work as well—feeding the homeless and teaching literacy skills to those in need, believing that storytelling and empathy go hand in hand. Whether he's guiding aspiring authors through the intricacies of worldbuilding or igniting creative sparks in young dreamers, his mission remains the same: to spread the joy and power of storytelling to as many people as possible.


With a pen in hand and a thousand worlds in his mind, John Sorynson invites you to lose yourself in the kind of stories that saved him—and might just save you, too.
