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.

Onyx for Obsidian

Serenica told her friends everything as accurately as she could. She told them about the ferryman. She told them about the Mother and how different the goddess had been from her expectations. The description of the physical appearance of the goddess of death caused the captain to shiver visibly, and the healer noticed him pulling closer towards her, perhaps to get a small piece of eternity under his skin.

She had never understood Spade as well as she did now. There was a certain longing she felt for what she had thought she had seen and touched. It was almost unfair that she had been robbed of the supernatural nature of her adventures.

She mentioned these feelings to the king-captain, and he just nodded and helped her light her pipe.

It seemed like they were on the same page now.
