IkuSaari

A young healer woman sets sail to kill her enemies and steal the heart of the prince her rival desires. She encounters deadrousers, cannibals and lunatics as she hunts for epic treasures and love. She finds out she can be everything she wants to be: a doctor and a healer of thieves, a lover and an impressively rich spirit aunt, but the price she has to pay will be paid in blood. 

Serenica Ingram is a brave witch in her twenties. She would do anything to be even better at healing. Mariana Kinley, a witch-hating witch and a ruthless businesswoman, doesn't like competition and drives Serenica out of her home. She joins the pirate crew of the necromancer, Captain Spade. 

The city of Neul that Serenica calls home is a hostile and degenerate place, ripe with rich merchants and homeless witches, but the mythical island of outlaws, Aja Vana, is even stranger. The western islands are populated by outcasts and Serenica would do anything to avoid them. 

Becoming a rich and respected pirate healer isn't easy, especially with both other witches and royals wanting Serenica dead. She has to sail to the ends of the known world just to get her stolen property back, and even harder will be to catch the eye of the Dreamer, the fair prince whom Kinley also desires, while fulfilling the promise to kill a king.

WARNING: s*icide mentions, very mild cursing, violence, blood so please use caution when reading.

Water Belongs to the Dead: Heart of the Witch

The little spiders appeared to be harmless. Serenica didn't want to leave anything up to chance, though, and she shook them off, shocked and disgusted.

It was very much apparent by now that Kinley was low on energy. She made a leap for Serenica's pistol, but she was way too slow. The healer got a hold of the gun. Its surface temperature was now bearable.

Serenica pointed her pistol at her enemy.

"Why should I not kill you now?" she asked.

"Because you will not hit me," the woman replied. "You will shoot my hostage. Is that what you truly want?"

Kinley reached towards the curtain behind her. She reached behind it and pulled out a very confused and terrified Helen Dastra.

Kinley yanked Helen's arm to pull the socialite in front of her as a human shield.

Serenica couldn't think of anything to say or do.
