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

"Am I the right person to answer that for you?" The ferryman chuckled.

"All right, I will send Kinley back to you…if I can…then, kill no more, only heal. But anything that I do before Kinley touches the bottom of the ocean again is none of your damn business. Are we clear here?"

Serenica did not know where she had received this courage. She was a bit astonished by her own words.

"Right, we're clear here. I know this will be helpful to you. You might not realize it yet, but it will be your lifeline. Are you listening to me, Serenica Ingram?"

"Don't wait until you or someone else finishes talking. Just shoot. I don't care how good the talking gets. It'll never beat the feeling of a clean, unexpected shot. She will not expect that from you at all."
