"In this story, Alice Law studies at Cambridge under the tutelage of Professor Jacob Grimes, who is widely regarded as the greatest magician in the world. He's also a trailblazing scholar. Grimes is known for his harsh, abusive nature but Alice has happily put up with his antics, volatile personality, and even bullying because she knows that her considerable talents and dedication will only take her so far"
"As the duo become "sojourners" and traverse Hell together in search of Grimes, they encounter an endless array of characters, creatures, threats, deities and challenges that stand between them and their goal. Stripped of magic, full of different ideas and theories, and with the tension between them growing, Alice and Peter have to work together and trust each other if they want to find their professor."
Yellowface offers an incisive, entertaining examination of race, intellectual property, honesty, revenge, and cultural appropriation alongside a scathing view of the publishing world. Katabasis follows Alice Law, a Cambridge student mentored by the famed but abusive magician-scholar Jacob Grimes, whose death in a lab accident may implicate Alice. Alice and Peter travel through Hell as sojourners seeking Grimes, facing myriad creatures, deities, and challenges while stripped of magic. The pair wrestle with trust, competing egos, attraction, and philosophical debates about love, resulting in sharp character development and tense collaboration under pressure.
