From bestselling author R.F. Kuang comes Katabasis, a dark and imaginative fantasy filled with magic, rivalry, adventure, and an unexpected romance.

Alice Law has one goal: to become the brightest mind in the field of analytic magick. But when the professor who could make her career dies, Alice decides there is only one thing to do, travel to Hell and bring him back.

Unfortunately, her biggest academic rival, Peter Murdoch, has the same plan.

Forced to journey into the underworld together, Alice and Peter discover a place where the rules of reality have been turned upside down. To survive its dangers and find their way home, they will have to put aside their differences and somehow learn to trust each other.

Darkly funny, clever, and packed with adventure, Katabasis is a gripping fantasy about ambition, sacrifice, rivalry, and what happens when two enemies are forced to journey through Hell together.
