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

Serenica convinced Ed to show her his notebook as she promised to show hers in turn. They compared their anatomical drawings. Serenica's were fairly accurate to her own eye, but Ed could easily point out many mistakes in them. He did it without being overly spiteful. Serenica got the impression that he merely loved information too much to not correct her. She had miscalculated the placement of several glands and exaggerated the size of the liver. Ed said he had performed multiple autopsies. Serenica thought that was an odd way of saying he had performed hundreds of them, so precise was his knowledge.

"Once I removed the thyroid gland," he said, tapping the appropiate spot in his drawing. "I removed the thyroid from a tadpole. Can you guess what happened next?"

"I gather it didn't fare well," Serenica said.

"Well, it didn't. It never grew into an adult frog." The joy of discovery sparkled in Ed's eyes.
