Synopsis

Alice Law is a graduate student with a single, consuming ambition: to become the brightest mind in analytic magick. The person she believes can make that possible is dead and, to her frustration, in Hell.

Determined to reach him, she sets out alongside her biggest rival, Peter Murdoch. Hell refuses to behave as philosophers claim, its logic running in reverse, and survival demands an uneasy partnership between two people who can barely agree on anything.
