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 could not resist the temptation to dig up anything and everything about the angry widows. It was a topic she had often thought of – women stayed home, as silent victims of the violent ways of men. Of course, the good doctor herself was an exception, but that made no difference to the general rule of thumb. She knew the person she had dreaded the most had been a bitter woman, and she herself was a woman, as dangerous as any of the elite outlaws. She had taken a step away from the traditional way of viewing herself and others through gender. In piracy and healing, it made no difference.

Serenica tried her best to enjoy the voyage aboard her beloved Princess, but the wistful feeling in her chest was too much and she ended up smoking more tobacco than she had any right to. Her throat was hurting from all the stray wisps of smoke that had licked it from the inside.

She loved the king and could not bear to be away from him for too long.
