Night's Rose - Annaliese Evans Rosemarie Edenberg is cursed at birth by a dark faerie and forced into a sleep for 100 years. Terrible things are done to her while she is asleep and when she awakens prematurely, she is forced to work for the dark fae as an ogre slayer. The ogres are converging on London and working a dark spell of evil. Rosemarie is helped by a fey advisor, Ambrose and assisted at times by vampire Lord Shenley, an earl with a scandalous reputation. The politics of the seelie fey and the dark fey are at work and Rosemarie, Ambrose and Lord Shenley are all caught in the cross-fire. The betrayal by Ambrose cuts Rosemarie to the quick and she is left floundering while the ogres run rampant in London.

This urban fantasy novel has dark elves, trolls, ogres, light and dark faeries, vampires and even a human or two. I enjoyed the newness of the fey fighting ogres and was comforted by the fight between the light and dark faeries. After all, it wouldn't be true faerie novel if they weren't fighting each other as well as everyone else. I liked the ending but I can't wait for Rosemarie's further adventures in The Prince of Frogs.
