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.

Prison of Love

Old wounds required a lot of care, and now they had new ones on top of old ones. No one had time to heal their mind. No one even knew how to do it, at least as far as Serenica was concerned.

They emptied the bottle and opened another.

"Everything I touch, well, it dies and withers," Spade said. His voice was a bit unclear, probably because of all that wine and crying.

"She has not withered, though," Serenica said and poured herself some more. "We really should not be drinking this much."

"If you are referring to my wife, you're right, but she still suffers." The king-captain sighed. "I wanted her to be free and now I have locked her up."

"Love isn't a prison," Serenica said.

"I respectfully disagree," Spade said, pulled out a pack of cards from his pocket. "When you love someone, you are never truly free. You will always fear for their sake."
