Zorian Kazinski is a pragmatic, slightly above-average mage attending his third year at Cyoria's prestigious magical academy, focused solely on his future. His world is violently upended when he is murdered on the eve of the summer festival, only to awaken back at the start of the month, trapped in an inexplicable and seemingly endless time loop.

Across the series, readers witness Zorian's meticulous, slow-burn progression from a competent student to a formidable mage, meticulously piecing together a vast mystery within a richly detailed world. This intricate narrative explores themes of knowledge, responsibility, and the profound impact of countless repetitions.
