About Katabasis
Alice Law has sacrificed nearly everything to study Magick under the brilliant Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge. When he dies in a magical accident that may be her fault, Alice decides to retrieve his soul from Hell, only to discover that her academic rival Peter Murdoch has the same plan. Guided by underworld myths and armed with chalk for their spells, the pair must survive a Hell unlike the stories and confront a shared past that could unite them or destroy them.
