Darkest Mercy
“Send the messengers for the faery courts. This is the end.”
The Summer King is missing; the Dark Court is bleeding; and a stranger
walks the streets of Huntsdale, his presence signifying the deaths of
powerful fey.
Aislinn tends the Summer Court, searching for her
absent king and yearning for Seth. Torn between his new queen and his
old love, Keenan works from afar to strengthen his court against the
coming war. Donia longs for fiery passion even as she coolly readies the Winter Court for battle. And Seth, sworn brother of the Dark King and
heir to the High Queen, is about to make a mistake that could cost his
life.
Love, despair, and betrayal ignite the faery courts, and in the final conflict, some will win… and some will lose everything.
The exhilarating conclusion to Melissa Marr’s New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series will leave readers breathless.
