''A Poison Dark And Drowning'' is a [[YoungAdultLiterature Young Adult]] DarkFantasy book by Jessica Cluess. It's the second book in the ''Kingdom On Fire'' series.
It's been some months since [[Literature/AShadowBrightAndBurning Henrietta killed Korozoth]] after the ward around UsefulNotes/{{London}} came down. In lieu of making another, the people have been fortifying the city against further attack. Henrietta is now a full-fledged sorcerer, and now contributing in her way to the war against the remaining six Ancients.
One day, a maid is found dead in the queen's bedroom, and a message [[CouldntFindAPen written in blood]] nearby from Rh'lem. He wants the sorcerer's to hand over Henrietta Howel to him as revenge for Korozoth's death, and he will send the other Ancients and their Familiars to every human civilization near London to raze it to the ground until they do so.
In the hopes of finding an alternative, Henrietta learns that Ralph Strangewayes, the man who invented magician magic, had a secret that allowed him to actually control the Ancients. After she, Lord Blackwood, Magnus, and a new friend named Maria, visit the remains of his home, they return to London with a series of weapons that were used to hunt and control the Ancients. Now Henrietta needs to figure out how to use them, lest the Order give in to Rh'lem's threat.

!!''A Poison Dark And Drowning'' contains examples of:
* TheFairFolk: On their way back from Strangewayes' house, Henrietta and co. decide to take a shortcut through fairy territory. The fairies aren't too happy about this, and Queen Mab demands one of them give up something important to be allowed to leave.
* {{Glamour}}: Ralph Strangewayes' house is surrounded by a spell that makes it appear as a run-down, sunken hut.
