 Zoë Merrick lived an ordinary life until the night she was brutally attacked. She narrowly escapes death, rescued by Adam Razor, an ex-soldier who offers her friendship and a place to stay. But something else is different. Zoë is unable to control an unexplainable energy coursing through her body.
Justus De Gradi is a man who can teach her that control. She meets him by chance - a man who's handsome, arrogant, and not entirely human. He reveals that she's a Mage - an immortal made of light, not magic. Zoë must now make a choice: Rebuild her life in the human world with the man who saved her, or live with Justus and learn how to use her extraordinary gifts. Justus has sworn an oath to protect her life, but can he guard her from the one man who has a right to claim it?
Zoë learns the price of freedom...and the value of loyalty. | |

Listened to audio narrated well by Nicole Poole. I liked how she brought each character their own voice.
Zoé Winter Merrick has no idea why she was attacked and murdered on her way home but her life was changed irrevocably. She woke in a body bag and ran. She was found and taken in by Adam Razor, a former military man trying to live quietly off grid.
As Adam nursed her, over three days she recovered and physically changed and had no idea why or what she had become, but they become close.
She suffers from nightmares as she keeps hearing her attacker's voice claiming to be hunting her down, demanding she return to him.
When she is discovered by Justus De Gradi her life changes again as she finally discovers what she is and that she must leave Adam to be trained.
Justus De Gradi is a charmer and also a big jerk. He may have become Zoé's Guardian for her protection but he's an ass about it. Things only get better for Zoé once Justus' friend Simon shows up and gives him a reality check.
Just as Zoé aka 'Learner' starts to blossom, her maker appears to the Council to claim her and she is terrified.
The world of the Mageri is full of wonder and danger and in this book we mostly see the ugly side of being a Mage. Zoé always seems to be under some sort of an attack and is almost killed and it will take Justus, Adam and Simon to come up with a plan to save her from the evil that is her maker.
This is an interesting new world but there were some inconsistency problems. While some parts were predictable I did enjoy most of the story even if I didn't always like the main characters.
