Mother of Learning

Zorian Kazinski, a quiet and driven teenage mage, enters his third year at Cyoria's magical academy with a singular focus: securing his future and escaping the shadow of a family that has always favored his brothers. He has no patience for distractions or others' problems. However, on the eve of Cyoria's annual summer festival, Zorian finds his carefully planned life irrevocably shattered when he is murdered. Moments later, he awakens back at the beginning of the month, trapped in an inexplicable time loop. With each cycle, death brings him back to square one, forcing him to relive the same month over and over. This predicament, initially terrifying, gradually transforms into an unparalleled opportunity. Zorian realizes he has infinite time to master magic, learn forgotten arts, and unravel the intricate mystery behind the loop itself. Yet, the loop wasn't made for his benefit, and powerful, unseen forces lurk, eager to exploit or eliminate anyone who interferes with their grand design. Zorian must grow far beyond his initial capabilities, facing threats both external and internal, to break free from his endless temporal prison.
