Katabasis, noun, Ancient Greek. The tale of a hero's journey into the underworld.
Graduate student Alice Law has always had a singular ambition: to become the leading intellect in the realm of analytic magick.
However, the only individual capable of realizing her aspiration is deceased and, inconveniently, resides in Hell. Consequently, Alice, alongside her greatest competitor Peter Murdoch, is determined to retrieve him.
Yet, Hell defies the philosophers' assertions; its regulations are inverted, and for her to escape alive, she and Peter must collaborate.
Provided they can find common ground.
Will they succeed, or will they end up destroying each other in the process?
