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.

Delights

The island was populated by all sorts of people. Serenica looked for Helen in the crowds dancing around the fires, but she saw no one familiar.

Rum was flowing freely. The smell was almost unbearable, the mixture of booze and pork in the air, along with the smoke, and the gyrating hips of the dancers made Serenica lose what little she had left of her mind.

She wanted to dance and drink, too. She was probably already dead. It felt outrageous to think that even after kicking the bucket, she had to fight and work and complete quests.

She mentioned this thought to Essieca.

The madwoman smiled.

"The world has taken a big bite out of you, Serenica."

"That's damn right," the healer said. "And they had no right to."
