Darkest Mercy is an Urban fantasy novel by Melissa Marr. It is set in the same universe as Marr's previous YA novels, but is not a sequel to Radiant Shadows; rather, it is a companion novel like Ink Exchange was, focusing on a different set of characters.

The main characters are unknown. It is assumed that Donia plays a colossal character as she is the cover model. Darkest Mercy is the last book in the Wicked Lovely series and Marr has said that it concludes the story arc that started in Wicked Lovely, focusing on Aislinn, Seth, Keenan, and Donia.

Prologue

Darkest Mercy commences with a usual deep and dark gloom as seen in a few of its series. The last book of the Wicked Lovely series, begins with chaos. The courts are in disorder, people are missing, the regents in all the faery courts are all relatively new at their jobs. Most of the characters from the previous books in the series are back and we see all their stories tie together in the end as they fight the faery called War and struggle to find the necessary balance between the courts.
