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

Myorka and Spade retreated to their own private spot out in the woods without even trying to participate in the preparations of the feast. Serenica allowed them their moment. They would be likely to want to join the negotiations later, and the healer had a lot of things to do.

She did not even dare to look at the queen mother – she was afraid of blowing their cover. The woman, though, she kept a facade of absolute submission towards her ever so sour husband, and when the Maroon King looked away, she looked at the healer with grim determination in her eyes.

Serenica did the only thing she could think of.

It was finalized right there, the decision had been made. She would take the secrets of the ferryman once he would come again and help the queen mother do the impossible. Kinley would rise again, with her evil will intact, and she would rain fire and brimstone on the man who had so disgraced her.
