Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface, in which two graduate students must put aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor’s soul—perhaps at the cost of their own. Katabasis, noun, Ancient Greek: The story of a hero’s descent to the underworld Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world. That is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault. Grimes is now in Hell, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams…. Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the very same conclusion. With nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante to guide them, enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells, and the burning desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything, they set off across Hell to save a man they don’t even like. But Hell is not like the storybooks say, Magick isn’t always the answer, and there’s something in Alice and Peter’s past that could forge them into the perfect allies…or lead to their doom.

A dark bargain. An unforgettable curse. A life lived in the shadows.

France, 1714: Desperate to escape a predetermined life, a young woman named Addie LaRue makes a fateful deal with a mysterious god. She'll live forever, but at a terrible price: everyone she meets will forget her.

She learns to survive, to adapt, and to find fleeting moments of joy in a world that can never truly know her. Her only constant companion is the dark and alluring god who cursed her, who visits each year to tempt her with an end to her immortal solitude.

But after nearly 300 years, everything changes. In a small, hidden bookstore, Addie meets a young man who remembers her name. Now, Addie must confront her past, her curse, and the possibility that she might finally be seen for who she truly is. But is it worth the risk?
