KUANG R F KATABASIS (STANDARD EDITION)

Dante’s  Inferno  meets Susanna Clarke’s Piranesi  in this all-new dark academia fantasy from
R. F. Kuang  the #1  New York Times  bestselling author of  Babel and Yellowface  in which two
graduate students must put aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor’s
soul—perhaps at the cost of their own.  Katabasis  noun  Ancient Greek: The story of a hero’s
descent to the underworld Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest
minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride 
her health  her love life  and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob
Grimes at Cambridge  the greatest magician in the world. That is  until he dies in a magical
accident that could possibly be her fault. Grimes is now in Hell  and she’s going in after him.
Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even
death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams…. Nor will the fact that her rival  Peter
Murdoch  has come to the very same conclusion. With nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante
to guide them  enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells  and the burning
desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything  they set off across Hell to save a man
they don’t even like. But Hell is not like the storybooks say  Magick isn’t always the answer 
and there’s something in Alice and Peter’s past that could forge them into the perfect
allies…or lead to their doom.
