«Katabasis»
R. F Kuang

In Katabasis, R.F. Kuang delivers a haunting and hypnotic descent into the underworld of academia—both literally and metaphorically. This isn’t just a journey to Hell. It’s a razor-sharp exploration of ambition, obsession, and the price we’re willing to pay for greatness.

Alice Law has built her entire identity around becoming the best in her field. Magick isn’t just her discipline—it’s her life, her purpose, her escape. But when her brilliant, arrogant mentor Professor Grimes dies in a mysterious magical accident, everything she’s sacrificed might have been for nothing… unless she can bring him back.

There’s only one problem. He’s in Hell. And she’s not the only one heading there.

Peter Murdoch, her longtime rival and equally relentless peer, has his own reasons for attempting the impossible. Thrown together in a world stitched from myth, memory, and madness, Alice and Peter must navigate a hellscape far stranger than anything they’ve studied—where Magick falters, stories twist into traps, and their shared past hides more than just petty competition.

With echoes of Dante’s Inferno and the eerie brilliance of Piranesi, Katabasis dares readers to ask: what would you risk—your soul, your sanity, your humanity—for the future you believe you deserve?

Darkly academic and profoundly human, this is a tale of descent, but also of discovery. Because sometimes, to find yourself, you have to go all the way down.
