Publisher's summary
Space Security Agent Sara Kingdom is dead, her ashes strewn on the planet Kembel. But, in an old house in Ely, Sara Kingdom lives on…
To the Elders of this ruined world, Sara is a ghost, a phantom that must be excised. She must prove her right to exist, and she does so with stories. Stories of a time when she travelled the universe with an ancient Doctor and his heroic companion Steven inside a magical space/time ship called the TARDIS.
And one story in particular could make a difference. The one about their trip to a world covered in water, where a human expedition is being wiped out. It’s a battle to survive, as the travellers face the horrors of the drowned world…

Timeline
As with the entire Simon Guerrier Sara Kingdom trilogy, this story can be placed on a timeline based on the two major halves of the story.
In terms of the present-day coversation between Robert and Sara, The Drowned World occurs between CC: Home Truths and The Guardian of the Solar System.
The flashback involving Sara, Steven and the Doctor, however, occurs at a time between "The Feast of Steven" and "Volcano". Sara further claims that the flashback is just after the events of ST: The Little Drummer Boy.
Placing this flashback relative to the flashbacks contained in Guardian and Home is a matter of debate, because the reliability of Sara as a storyteller is called into question in Home. That Sara tells the flashback in Drowned in such a way that it seems to have occurred after the flashback in Guardian could simply be, as Robert points out, the embellishments of a woman who's told the same stories for centuries.
