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 met an old woman whose memory had failed her. At first it seemed like a typical case of that elderly madness that could not be cured, except in death. The healer felt desperate. It was downright unfair to give her a patient who, by definition, was suffering from something incurable.

Then she noticed the odd smell emanating from the lady, something she had smelled before. She lifted the sleeves of the patient and noticed a scaly rash that was so bad, it could hardly be called a rash.

"Do you happen to live away from large bodies of water?" Serenica asked, because she suspected an abnormally narrow diet might have caused the woman to develop that horrible illness known as memory diarrhea.

It felt too good to have her exact area of expertise utilized to write it all off as a coincidence. Some of the professors had arranged this, knowing that she had plenty of information about memory diarrhea.
