“Katabasis” by R.F. Kuang
"Katabasis" by R.F. Kuang ($30, originally $35)
The title of R.F. Kuang's new book is a bit of a spoiler alert: in ancient Greek, it translates as the story of a hero's descent into the underworld. This dark academic novel follows two student magicians who have to journey into hell to rescue their advisor. Armed with nothing but stories and spells, rivals Alice and Peter have something in their past that could either save them or doom them.
