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.

Water Belongs to the Dead: Heart of the Witch

"What do you think it should say?" Spade asked Serenica as he threw away yet another failed attempt. "A sea monster? A sea monster large and frightening enough that no sane man or woman would try to challenge it?"

"Yes, I think the latter is suitable. Why are you so nervous about this?" she asked.

"This fae stuff is expensive. Do you have any idea how bad it is with these things? I nearly had to sell my soul for this jar." The captain tapped the lid of a jar that was full of something that looked like a white, slimy substance that was slightly iridescent.

"Yes, I know, I know. Should we specify the type of monster we want them to see?"

They debated about the details for a while and then settled on letting the witchcraft decide. All the spell ingredients were put into a jar to make the casting process easier.

The animals were slaughtered, save for a few necessary individuals.

They threw the bloody mess overboard and waited.
