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.

Serenica had to come to observe the deadrousing process after all. Spade had problems with the logistics of thirteen corpse candles.

Twelve times they tried to get the man to open his mouth and say something about the motives behind the kidnapping. Twelve times they failed.

On the thirteenth time Serenica thought she saw his mouth quiver in the darkness. She looked closer. Suddenly the dead man jumped up and screamed.

"Talk to me!" the king-captain yelled. "Tell me what this is all about or you will never know what it is like to rest in peace!"

"I can't! There are things that are much more horrifying than that!"

The dead man started to scream again.

Spade forced the corpse down with sheer physical force. "Tell me where they are and why your people did this to me! I promise that otherwise you will simply not know terror like me…"

A gurgling sound echoed in the room.

"North…"
