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.

Decadence

"I will come to see Spade immediately," Serenica said. "This is bad. Dreamy boy, come with me. We need to have another meeting."

Of course there could be no certainty about the number of surviving maroon spies. There could be many. There could be none left. It seemed that the court could not trust anyone anymore. Serenica even suspected Obonax of betraying Azzer, even though that was not likely, as Obonax was an extremely dull man.

It was agreed that all communication outside of the inner circle of the king-captain should be in a secret code cryptic enough that it would go unnoticed, and Ed could help with that, but even he had to admit that no secret language could save them if someone undesirable knew the key to it.

Serenica pulled out her hair every night as they made their way to the Princess to take the message to the people personally. She was surprised by the amount of hair she had on her head. A few nights of stress made no difference.
