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

They found a wobbly bridge over the river nearby, but they did lose quite a lot of valuable time and they had now alerted the chief with their rash actions.

At least they now knew that the chief was up to no good. They spent all day following his tracks in the jungle, but the man knew how to cover up evidence of his presence.

Finally, just a moment before the sun went down and put an end to their efforts, the future chief caught a glimpse of something that looked like a piece from the clothes of the man.

They went further, as now the footprints were clear again, and came to a gruesome sight.

A big panther, bigger than Serenica would have imagined even the most ferocious of them to be, was tearing into the throat of the chief.

"Damn!" Serenica cursed again. She fired a warning shot into the air in order to salvage as much of the windpipe of the man as possible.

He did need it for some chit-chat with the captain.
