Katabasis is a dark academia fantasy where two rival Cambridge PhD students, Alice Law and Peter Murdoch, must set aside their differences to venture into Hell. Their mission is to retrieve the soul of their recently deceased, influential, and morally compromised advisor, Professor Jacob Grimes, whose letter of recommendation they desperately need for their academic careers. The novel blends mythology and philosophy as they descend through the Eight Courts of Hell—a literal manifestation of the academic hellscape they are trying to escape.
