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.

Queen of the Smoke

The dead were being subdued at an alarming pace. The smell of decay penetrated the air, strong, pungent and disgusting in Serenica's nostrils, as she was brought to the spot where Kinley was resting in her pollen dress.

"I should probably change my clothes," the witch said. "Watch that healer girl, Wheatby. Let me know you're a real man. Keep her safe, but keep her here."

An annoyed Dereyk appeared from the jungle just as the last of the corpses fell down.

"And where were you?" Wheatby asked warily.

"Trying to prevent your precious healer from escaping." Dereyk glared at his leader. "I am done being your dog. I quit."

Serenica could not believe her ears.

Dereyk looked at her, obviously trying to get her to understand something.

Serenica had no idea how to feel about Dereyk switching sides. He was quite obviously dangerous and adept in violence, but he had a bad personality. She would have a hard time explaining this newcomer to her crew.
