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

Serenica had some trouble wheeling the cart through the thick, subtropical forest. When the wheels themselves did not get stuck, an arm or a leg would fall from the bumpy ride. Every time that happened, she had to count all the pieces over and over again.

She was nervous about losing something that could later be turned against her, but all the pieces were there. The jungle hid many beasts that would have loved to take a bite, but that was why Serenica had her torch.

The beasts hated fire, and death, too, hated the orange flame she was holding.

Kinley would get a proper burial, one with water, one with fire. Serenica could not see a more fitting way to dispose of her old enemy. Ed had made just the right kind of explosives for this occasion. Serenica also had a fuse.
