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

They had a relatively hard time squeezing in everything and everyone during the next few days, but they managed it. The famed library of Aja Vana, along with the copies of the texts and the copies of the copies, was now stored in the manor, and there were strangers sleeping on the floor, yet no one was worried.

The new moon rolled around, its lightless grace softly sweeping over the tropical scenery, and no one dared to sleep. Everyone stared at the waters.

Suddenly something blazed across the sky, in a split second drawing a sharp line amidst the stars, like a comet or a manifestation of divine rage.

Serenica thought this was it, that the world would end here and now. But nothing followed the sudden flash of light. The waters were calm.

As she was starting to get frustrated with the thought of getting everyone worried in vain, someone noticed that the buildings down in the port were shaking a little. Even the manor started shaking.
