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.

The Old Mainland

There were plenty of men and women selling horses, and there were plenty of horses, too, but some of them were underfed and some were so fat that they could barely support their own weight.

"Are you sure you don't want to rent?" the captain asked.

"It's safer to always have my own horse with me while I'm on dry land," Serenica said.

Spade agreed with her.

After a series of misunderstandings they settled on a black mare that was called Norra. Serenica felt she got along with the animal, as Norra was patient and her new owner was hasty. The seller told Serenica that Norra could be manipulated with carrots.

She took the horse outside the inn and fed her. She wanted to start her relationship with the animal on a positive note.
