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.

An Eye to Spare

"You were told what?" Serenica asked and blinked.

She couldn't help thinking that it could be the last time she blinked with both eyes.

"Or they will destroy you too, not just Sennas. It isn't much of a choice," the prince said, crying openly by now.

"I will…I said I could give my life to prevent innocents from dying. An eye is a big loss. But I'll have to take it. I don't want a single life on my conscience. And I've killed already. No more. No one will lose their life for my sake," Serenica said slowly. She reached out to him, but he swatted her hand away, collapsing onto the ground in front of her.

"I hate myself for ever getting involved with you," he said. "When I think of the pain and loss I have to cause you – I hate! I hate myself so much!"

"It is not your fault in any way, though," Serenica said, a bit annoyed. "Here I am, comforting you, even though you get to keep both your eyes."
