Synopsis

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.

WARNING: s*icide mentions, very mild cursing, violence, blood so please use caution when reading.

    Such an intriguing story! Very unique and fascinating! I only saw a few pirate-themed books and some are set for male leads- but an MC that is a female? A healer and a brave character? Count me in! The synopsis piques your interest and reveals information you need to look forward to in the book aside from that! The first chapter is like an exciting door for a new world- an alternative universe where we ride the wildest seas that could ever be sailed across the world! I'll follow Serenica in her adventures! \(@^0^@)/ I'm excited about this book! definitely deserve five-star ratings!

    Very high quality writing, an original story, good MC, and action make this a great read for anyone. There's development visible instead of just weak to experienced for no reason. Its a good quality story and should be a solid pick

    I have never understood why writers are supposed to feel bad about their own stories. I can confidently say that this is one of my favorite books - of all time, and that is something I value. The soft yet brave MC. The humor. The thrills. I love my own book to bits, and I am not ashamed to say it. This novel is my sole purpose in life, so rest assured, your comments and gifts are cherished. I will always reply as soon as possible.

    The descriptive words is great, it's enough to make me imagine the scene. I've always wanted to write about pirates but I'm lacking of knowledge, your book might be the inspiration of my chapter arcs about pirates. Due to its description, you already felt as a reader what setting are you in.

It was rather unique and your creativity is not to be looked down upon. The MC was a highlight for me through their situations and how everything was described. Keep up the good work.

    This is the second book of this author which I'm reading. I've noticed a similarity between the author's way with the words. The author is really good at mixing up the real life circumstances in a simple and very effective manner with the novel. The world background is really great and it has no useless fan servicing. This is my type of novel. The story development is something I crave for. I like how greatly sketched out the characters are. Updating stability is frequent. This book has some really awesome characteristics. I can see this book's potential of getting popular. Best of luck in writing!

    Simple description to say this novel, Superb and very smooth with the flow. The Word Building in this one is one of the best in WN I ever read. It has the lore of the witch, pirates, and many more that are very diverse. I absolutely love it where the direction goings. As for the characters they are all well introduced and have a significant appearance with one another. Serenica is not only she is the strong female lead, but she also outshines some of the pirate story tropes. Which is she is a literally medic, how unique that a medic is the main character. While the villain Kinley is very well established as a character that oppose Serenica ideology. She is also has personality that quite antagonistic and give a vibe you don't mess around with this one. While for the writing, It just feels very smooth especially with the flow, telling, and many more. It's like a quality of a proffessional writer. Overall, this novel is a hidden gem and will have an outstanding potential in the future. Thank you and keep up the good work!!

    You don't see this sort of writing everywhere. I'm a fan of how the author reveals the world background slowly and intriguingly that always manages to incite my curiosity. Each character is drawn in a realistic and distinctive light that makes their interactions much more immersive and sensible. There's also a sense of adventure that you feel in the background that makes you feel like you are experiencing and unveiling the mysteries of the world along with the characters. Again, a great job by the author, a must-read for the readers!

    Okay so, let me start like this: The dialogues and the characters are very well written. I was absolutely feeling it when the dialogues came up, cuz some novels have such fake dialogues, it's like reading about a cardboard cutout. Honestly, I liked this novel. I'd definitely be waiting for more releases.

    There are a very few things I love in most artistic concepts- few of them being pirates and healing! This book is very very interesting. I found the characters to be beautifully crafted and will definitely read all of it. Kudos to the author for coming up with this idea
