Explanation To Books The Steward (Weald Fae Journals #1)
Maggie O’Shea expected the worst when her family relocated from the lively beaches of Boca Raton to the secluded forests of the Ozark Mountains. What she didn’t expect was a new beginning – one full of Fae, magical powers, dangerous physical and mental trials, and two surprisingly gorgeous young men. These aren’t the fairies you’re familiar with, but dangerous superpowers embroiled in an enduring struggle among themselves over the fate of all humanity. Some want to protect us, and others would love nothing more than to see us, and especially fifteen-year-old Maggie, dead and buried. Now, torn between her new duties as Steward of the most sacred Fae land and her burgeoning love for Gavin, a powerful Fae, Maggie must fight to protect her family, her friends, herself, and the fate of the entire world.Join Maggie as she learns that fairy lore is not as far from the truth as she had believed, but neither is it anything like the tales in books or movies. As she navigates the treacherous schemes of the magical Fae, Maggie must become a quick study if she hopes to protect the lives of many, and possibly all, people from the insidious plot the Unseelie Fae have planned for centuries.
The Steward is the first book in the four part series: the Weald Fae Journals by Christopher Shields.

One page into the book, I wondered what I had gotten myself into. As I delved deeper, the story hooked me - a trout on the line. Maggie is such an interesting character. She has flaws like the rest of us, and, also like us, wonders about the meaning to every event. "Why me?" "Where do I go from here?" The inner turmoil is so endearing - a look inside her character and moral compass. We are sucked into the vortex to learn as Maggie does - not everything is as it seems. The Fae are real. What weThis is a great story about a young girl fighting her fears and becoming the Steward of the Seely (Light Fae)
Wow, this book was AWESOME! If you are anything like me, and love Fae-tales (they really don't like to be called fairies), magic, myth, and mystery you have found the right book (or series as it looks). I was interested by the brief book description, but once I started reading, I found I was no longer on my front deck, but had stepped through to the incredibly real, and full world of Maggie O'Shea. I have said before that a character was real or fleshed well, but I have never read through the
I really should dislike Christopher Shields. I never have enough time on my hands and diverting my attention to what I expect to be a YA book is not how I want to send my time these days. But I started it and therein lay my first mistake.The story grabbed me, the style of writing grabbed me and the characters grabbed me. I'm tempted to sue for assault.Maggie is forced to move from her home in Florida to Arkansas where the family will live with a relative of her father's. The relative, (Aunt May)
I enjoyed this YA fantasy novel about a high school girl (Maggie O'Shea) being forced to move from Florida to Eureka Springs, AR and finding that it holds more promise than she realized. In Shield's novel, faeries are real, and can be lifesize hunks of well-dressed teenage males or little creatures flitting around with wings. Underneath appearances, they are other life forms that can be pure energy or can take other forms, both human and animal. It turns out that the O'Shea farm guards a portal
I started reading this novel through the holidays. It dragged me back to its pages despite all the holiday insanity. I launched one of my own novels Christmas day, camped in front of my PC for hours, but I couldn't escape this book. I kept trying to find the time to snatch a few more minutes of reading.About a 1/3 of the way in I was thoroughly seduced by the 2700 acre Weald. I found myself contemplating the purchase of real estate in Arkansas, and I've never been there. The author transported
The story is fast-paced and the characters well defined. Maggie is a strong protagonist. It is an excellent book for young adults and also for other readers.Uprooted from Boca Raton, Maggie OShea is brought to the Ozark Mountains with her mother, father, and younger brother, because of her fathers lack of work. What she finds in her back yard is a magical world of the Faes (fairies) who rule the Weald. To her surprise, her Aunt May informs her she is selected to become the next Steward as a
