Katabasis

Alice Law is a brilliant grad student with one singular obsession. She wants to become the greatest mind in the field of analytic magick, but the only person who can guide her is currently trapped in the afterlife.

To save her mentor, Alice must descend into a Hell that defies all traditional philosophical expectations. She is not alone, as she is forced to partner with her bitter rival, Peter Murdoch, to survive the treacherous journey.

The underworld is a place of upside-down rules and constant peril where nothing is as it seems. Alice and Peter must find a way to cooperate or face eternal consequences in a realm where their survival is far from guaranteed.

This novel is a No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller. R.F. Kuang delivers a mind-bending fantasy that has been praised by major publications including Vogue, Elle, and The Guardian.
