## About this book

Katabasis, the first volume in R.F. Kuang's instant Sunday Times bestselling series, plunges readers into a world of analytic magick. Grad student Alice Law dreams of becoming the leading mind in her field, but her mentor is dead, and inconveniently, he's in Hell. To reach him, she must descend into the underworld alongside her fiercest rival, Peter Murdoch, forcing an uneasy alliance.

Hell defies philosophical maps, its twisted rules upending everything Alice knows. This dark fantasy epic blends action, romance, and a hero's journey as the pair navigate a realm where survival demands cooperation. R.F. Kuang crafts a mind-bending tale of ambition and unexpected love in the ultimate enemy-to-lovers story, launching the Katabasis series with a bold, spellbinding adventure.
