Mother of Learning Novel

Zorian, a teenage mage of modest origins, attends his third year at Cyoria's magical academy. Driven and temperamental, he focuses solely on securing his independence from a family that has always favored his brothers, leaving him no patience for distractions or others' concerns. Everything changes on the eve of Cyoria's summer festival when he dies and awakens at the month's beginning, just before his train journey to the city. Caught in an inexplicable time loop, Zorian must search for answers both externally and within himself to escape this endless cycle. But escape is not optional. The time loop was not created for his benefit, and danger surrounds him at every turn. In a world where magic is real, even someone trapped in repeating time remains vulnerable to those who mean him harm. Zorian must survive each iteration long enough to learn the truth—because repetition may be the mother of learning, but first he must live to learn.
