Katabasis by R.F. Kuang Audiobook Summary
PageCraftSummaries
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Alice Law’s life as a magick scholar at Cambridge turns upside down when she decides to go to Hell to bring back the soul of her late advisor, Professor Jacob Grimes. Hell isn’t the fiery torment everyone expects. Instead, it looks like an eerie academic campus where souls face trials that test pride, desire, and greed, among other deep human struggles.
Alongside Peter Murdoch, her brilliant but unpredictable peer, Alice encounters supernatural creatures made of bones and chalk, tricky deities with their own agendas, and the haunting realities of memory, loyalty, and ambition. As they press forward, the stakes get higher, and trust becomes as fragile as the chalk spells that hold it all together.
Katabasis offers a smart and suspenseful journey that blends myth, philosophy, and university life, with characters caught between friendship and rivalry, truth and deception, survival and sacrifice.
