Mother of Learning

nobody103

S+98/100
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year at Cyoria's magical academy. Driven and irritable, he resents his family for favoring his brothers and has no patience for distractions or other people's problems. On the eve of Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit. To survive, Zorian must unravel the mystery before him — because the loop was not made for his sake, and dangers lurk everywhere. Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian must first make sure he survives to try again.
