A Poison Dark and Drowning

In a world of magic, danger, and secrets, Henrietta is faced with a daunting choice. The magicians want her to lead, the sorcerers want her to deceive, and the demons thirst for her blood. But above all, Henrietta wants to save the one she loves. However, his dark magic could be her downfall.

Henrietta arrived in London with the hope of being hailed as the chosen one—the first female sorcerer in centuries destined to vanquish the bloodthirsty Ancients. Instead, she found herself entangled in a web of city-wide secrets. The most significant secret of all? Henrietta is not the chosen one.

Despite this revelation, she must continue to play the role assigned to her to protect herself and Rook, her childhood friend and true love. But can she truly save him? The poison coursing through Rook's veins is transforming him into something monstrous, granting him dark powers he struggles to control.

Determined to shift the balance of the war, Henrietta stumbles upon a clue from the Ancients' past. This discovery leads her to enlist the help of Blackwood, the enigmatic Earl of Sorrow-Fell, on a journey up the coast in search of potent new weapons. Alongside them is Magnus, a daring and charming companion eager to win Henrietta's favor once more.

Together, this unlikely trio will confront terrifying monsters, forge alliances with powerful beings, and unearth the most potent weapon of all: the truth.
