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.

A Vast Ocean

She was rudely interrupted by events in the real world. Spade wanted her help with the interrogation of the corpse. The man of the crown seemed to be a lively one, even in death. He needed to be held down by one person, and someone else had to operate the corpse candle.

"I am sorry that I interrupted your honeymoon," the captain said as he closed the cabin door.

"What?"

"It's obvious from your face that you were having an intimate moment." Spade coughed.

"I really need to stop being so damn transparent." Serenica scratched her head.

"Please don't. Well, I have everything done for you already."

Serenica glanced at the corpse in the tub.

It had something stuffed in its mouth, a contract, probably, and it had the distinctive bloated appearance of a relatively fresh corpse that had been in the water for too long.

The healer sat down next to the corpse candle that was casting frightening shadows on the walls of the dimly lit cabin.
