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

"I have been waiting for this moment," Spade said with a heavy sigh. "Want some coffee?"

"No thanks, I'll get heartburn and then my hands will be all shaky. What's your plan truly about? I know it might involve you performing a heroic sacrifice and I won't pretend that it doesn't make me sad as hell. But it appears to me that it isn't what you actually want."

"Remember when I woke up the dead people buried in the sand of Oathbreaker's Cove?" The king-captain poured himself some coffee, shrugged and added quite a few drops of rum.

"Deadrousers get more powerful when they're close to their own deaths."

"Wouldn't nearly dying suffice?" Serenica asked. She was running low on emotions. She didn't even feel like crying, even though she saw the anguish on Spade's face.
