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.

Quill Theft

Before long, a man that walked like he was blind came strolling along the corridor and squinted at her.

"Why, young lady, are you waiting for treatment? The students will see you in the other building." He wiped some imaginary filth off his scarlet vest, a clothing item that revealed something about him. This fine gentleman did not get his hands dirty, or at least he didn't intend to do so today.

Serenica flashed the permit to him and said:"My name is Serenica Ingram and I intend to take advantage of this. I want to become a doctor."

The man seemed to shudder. "But why, of course! How privileged of me to think that you were here for treatment. Of course…it is a pity that not many women are interested in the medical field."

Serenica knew this to be untrue. It wasn't a lack of interest holding women back. It was the practical difficulty of having to get a special license to even start.
