Following a tragic accident that claimed Professor Jacob Grimes, Alice feels a moral obligation to reclaim his soul to secure her academic future. The story unfolds as she deeply immerses herself in Tartarology, a dangerous and neglected field. With their educational aspirations at stake, Alice and Peter must confront the challenges of their academic world intertwined with the unforgiving realms of the dead.
"Alice found it necessary to beg for his life back from King Yama the Merciful, Ruler of the Underworld."
"Over the past month she had become a self-taught expert in Tartarology, which was not one of her subfields."
