KATABASIS:

'Katabasis', noun, Ancient Greek. The story of a hero’s descent to the underworld.

Graduate student Alice Law has one goal: to become the brightest mind in the field of analytic magick. But the only person who can make that happen is dead – and inconveniently, in Hell. Alongside her rival, Peter Murdoch, Alice sets out on a perilous journey to retrieve him. Yet Hell isn’t what the philosophers claimed. Its rules are upside-down, its dangers unpredictable, and the greatest threat may be each other.

A darkly funny and fiercely original descent into ambition, obsession, and unexpected love, 'Katabasis' is one of 2025’s most anticipated novels.
