**Advanced Healing Spells by LC Mawson**
Good Morning,
Everyone! So thrilled to see you all today! Just a while ago, I featured this talented
author and her book, DARKNESS! Today she is back to tell us about another book
to add to your reading list. Please allow me to feature once again on the blog LC
Mawson and her book, ADVANCED HEALING SPELLS … Plus a Giveaway! 😊
**L. C. MAWSON**
**BIO**
Some say she's an
ancient creature of nightmare that was unleashed from beneath the ocean, come
to devour the souls of men. Others say that she's a cosmic being from the
beyond the stars that has taken corporeal form to learn our ways for some
unknown end...
In truth, L.C. Mawson lives in a tower in the middle of a haunted forest, far from civilisation and is definitely (probably?) not a witch who curses those who trespass upon her land. And she definitely cannot turn into a dragon that flies over cities in the dead of night and whose cries are often mistaken for an approaching storm. Where did you hear that? That's absurd...
The only contact she has with humanity is publishing a book once a month, which is definitely just for fun and not part of an ancient contract with a trickster god.

Keeping my head down shouldn’t be too hard… Right?
Unhappy
with how everything with the Amazons went down, the Slayers are now
investigating Ember Academy.
But
not me. Not as long as I keep my head down.
Which
would have been a hell of a lot easier if students hadn’t started dropping
unconscious.
No
one knows how to wake them, but I have ways to find answers that they don’t
The
question is if I risk it with the Slayers watching me so closely…
Especially when it would mean reaching out to
the very criminal the Slayers are trying to find.
ADVANCED
HEALING SPELLS is the third book in the Ember Academy for Young Witches YA
Urban Fantasy Academy series. If you love kick-ass heroines, Sapphic slow-burn
romances, and magical boarding schools, you’ll love this latest fast-paced
series in L.C. Mawson’s Snowverse.
**EXCERPT **
There are lots of things that I’d gotten disturbingly used to
since finding out that I was a Witch.
First and foremost probably being the fact that I’m a Witch.
But spending my dream-time psychically linked to an ancient Witch
who almost killed me was definitely up there.
But it’s okay, we got past that.
Mostly.
It was an accident, and she was trying to help lift the curse she
left on me.
And I was helping, given that there wasn’t much else to do when I
arrived at her tower at night.
“Wait, hang on, stop,” I said as I realised what she was doing.
“What?” she said, huffing as she placed one hand on her hip, the
other holding marigold flowers.
“You have to dry them first. You never use fresh marigold in a
dermal solution.”
Maria ground her teeth a little, but she did pull out her wand.
“How are you considered one of the greatest Witches of history and
you’re this bad at potion-making?”
“Because it takes too long,” Maria admitted as she waited for her
drying spell to work.
I grimaced. That would work, but not as well as letting them dry
naturally.
“I take shortcuts because I don’t have the patience for the long
way, and then my potions are never that strong.”
I took some more marigold flowers from her supplies and removed
them from the preservation spell, putting them out to dry.
This potion wasn’t going to be strong enough the way she was
making it, so I might as well set up the next one now.
“At least you’re aware of your pitfalls.”
“Being one of the greatest Witches of history demands it.
Especially if you’re neurodivergent. You can’t succeed when you don’t
understand your limits, Amelia. Pushing past them will only harm you in the
long-run.”
I folded my arms tight across my chest. “What if you don’t like
thinking about the fact that you’re not good at something?”
She turned and gave me a reassuring smile. “Then that is
understandable. But that’s one of those pitfalls that you really do need to
acknowledge.”
I leaned back against the table I was standing next to. “Yeah, I
guess…”
“For example, if you hadn’t acknowledged that you struggle with
Light magic enough to have difficulty casting healing spells, you would have
kept pushing yourself to succeed in using traditional healing spells, rather
than focusing on your connection to Nature.”
“I don’t struggle with Light magic.”
Maria raised an eyebrow.
“I stopped you from freeing your coven by focusing on Light
magic.”
“I didn’t say that you can’t access it at all, I’m just saying
that you seem to be favouring Dark magic. And why are you arguing? I thought
you wanted to be a Dark Witch so that you could go to the Underworld and get
your sister’s protection.”
“I just don’t want to end up like you.”
“I’m not a Dark Witch.”
I frowned. “Wait, you’re not?”
“No, I’m not Dark or Light. It’s not a binary, Amelia. You can
draw from both. Or the odd Witch like you can draw from Nature.
“I’ve never been a fan of thinking of it in the binary anyway.
‘Dark’ and ‘Light’ were just terms that Witches made up because the Demons and
Council of Light demanded that we be one or the other to work with them.”
