Water Belongs to the Dead: Heart of the Witch

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.

A Bad Liar

Serenica tried her best to forget that she knew Ed. It was quite difficult. The man had his own special style of explaining things. He was so full of scientific fervor that he'd often get downright emotional about what he was saying and use intense words that made Serenica feel like she was hearing about the turmoils of a particularly dramatic love affair.

Perhaps science was indeed a love affair to Ed. He put as much thought into the subject at hand as many ordinary men put into courting their women. As he moved onto explaining how little humans knew about their own bodies, an inner fire lit his eyes and caught onto Serenica's soul as well. It sounded so comforting. To think that she was not, in fact, alone with her lack of knowledge, it was a source of relief for her.
