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

There was enough food aboard the pirate hunter that the rest of the treasure hunt was pretty much supplied for. They could go on sailing towards the Island of Bones, but it seemed to Serenica that the prince had taken some kind of a shortcut and would be there before them.

Blackbones was out for a while as Serenica patched him up, but he returned to his senses after some bedrest and demanded to take on his responsibilities as a boatswain again.

The Island was a grimly beautiful place, at least as a speck in the sea it was just that when viewed through a spyglass. Its rocks were sharp and its sand was bone white, that special sort of pale with a worn-out yellow tint – and its trees were the type of trees that had plenty of sturdy branches. Those trees had to be good for hanging people.

With great care, they dropped their anchor at a spot that would allow for tedious magical repairs. Serenica couldn't see the ship of the Dreamer.
