  <description><![CDATA[This stunning epic fantasy debut introduces two exciting new authors&#8212;and a world brimming with natural and man-made wonders, extraordinary events, and a crisis that will test the mettle of men, the boundaries of magic, and the heart and soul of a kingdom.<strong><br/><br/></strong>Thanks to its elite Dragon Corps, the capital city of Volstov has all but won the hundred years&#8217; war with its neighboring enemy, the Ke-Han. The renegade airmen who fly the corps&#8217;s mechanical, magic-fueled dragons are Volstov&#8217;s greatest weapon. But now one of its more unruly members is at the center of the city&#8217;s rumor mill, causing a distraction that may turn the tide of victory. <br/><br/>With Volstov immersed in a scandal that may have international repercussions, the Ke-Han devise an ingenious plan of attack. To counter the threat, four ill-assorted heroes must converge to save the kingdom they love: an exiled magician, a naive country boy, a young student&#8212;and the unpredictable ace airman who flies the city&#8217;s fiercest dragon, Havemercy. <br/><br/>But on the eve of battle, these courageous men will face something that could make the most formidable of warriors hesitate, the most powerful of magicians weak, and the most unlikely of men allies in their quest to rise against it....<br/><br/>Filled with adventure and discovery, treachery and betrayal, <strong>Havemercy</strong> is a thrill ride to the unexpected&#8212;and an unforgettable journey that will linger long after the fire of battle has cleared]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[I've been waiting for a book like this for years now. Blindly I groped, searching through page after page of cliche fantasy only to find myself disappointed. I will admit to being a very picky reader with strange tastes, and <em>Havemercy</em> almost nailed it.

    <![CDATA[This stunning epic fantasy debut introduces two exciting new authors&#8212;and a world brimming with natural and man-made wonders, extraordinary events, and a crisis that will test the mettle of men, the boundaries of magic, and the heart and soul of a kingdom.<strong><br/><br/></strong>Thanks to its elite Dragon Corps, the capital city of Volstov has all but won the hundred years&#8217; war with its neighboring enemy, the Ke-Han. The renegade airmen who fly the corps&#8217;s mechanical, magic-fueled dragons are Volstov&#8217;s greatest weapon. But now one of its more unruly members is at the center of the city&#8217;s rumor mill, causing a distraction that may turn the tide of victory. <br/><br/>With Volstov immersed in a scandal that may have international repercussions, the Ke-Han devise an ingenious plan of attack. To counter the threat, four ill-assorted heroes must converge to save the kingdom they love: an exiled magician, a naive country boy, a young student&#8212;and the unpredictable ace airman who flies the city&#8217;s fiercest dragon, Havemercy. <br/><br/>But on the eve of battle, these courageous men will face something that could make the most formidable of warriors hesitate, the most powerful of magicians weak, and the most unlikely of men allies in their quest to rise against it....<br/><br/>Filled with adventure and discovery, treachery and betrayal, <strong>Havemercy</strong> is a thrill ride to the unexpected&#8212;and an unforgettable journey that will linger long after the fire of battle has cleared]]>

    <body><![CDATA[It definitely wasn't my favorite book (the whole switching narrations took a while to get used to, and the language sometimes offended my delicate sensibilities, and it often felt like the characterization was playing up stereotypes/typical masculine and feminine roles too much).

Despite being a 400 page book, it's a very fast read and I almost did not put it down.<br/><br/>This book is much closer to Sarah Monette's Mirador series, though it's not ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24180174">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So, i'm going through a fantasy phase. I just want to be dazzled by an epic story of magic right now. This book, however, was not a big hit. It was okay, not bad, but not great. The homosexual subplot was weird and didn't really jibe with the entire premise. Actually, the whole book was a dozen mini...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81213341">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[This stunning epic fantasy debut introduces two exciting new authors&#8212;and a world brimming with natural and man-made wonders, extraordinary events, and a crisis that will test the mettle of men, the boundaries of magic, and the heart and soul of a kingdom.<strong><br/><br/></strong>Thanks to its elite Dragon Corps, the capital city of Volstov has all but won the hundred years&#8217; war with its neighboring enemy, the Ke-Han. The renegade airmen who fly the corps&#8217;s mechanical, magic-fueled dragons are Volstov&#8217;s greatest weapon. But now one of its more unruly members is at the center of the city&#8217;s rumor mill, causing a distraction that may turn the tide of victory. <br/><br/>With Volstov immersed in a scandal that may have international repercussions, the Ke-Han devise an ingenious plan of attack. To counter the threat, four ill-assorted heroes must converge to save the kingdom they love: an exiled magician, a naive country boy, a young student&#8212;and the unpredictable ace airman who flies the city&#8217;s fiercest dragon, Havemercy. <br/><br/>But on the eve of battle, these courageous men will face something that could make the most formidable of warriors hesitate, the most powerful of magicians weak, and the most unlikely of men allies in their quest to rise against it....<br/><br/>Filled with adventure and discovery, treachery and betrayal, <strong>Havemercy</strong> is a thrill ride to the unexpected&#8212;and an unforgettable journey that will linger long after the fire of battle has cleared]]>

    <body><![CDATA[<em>Havemercy</em> (one word) is the joint effort of debut authors Jaida Jones and Danielle Bennett.

    <body><![CDATA[eBook<br/><br/>With the exception of Tolkien, I haven't read a fantasy novel in a long time, but they used to form the core of my reading materials.  So I was expecting a bit of nostalgia to infect my reading of <em>Havemercy</em>.<br/><br/>I was surprised, however, to find that this book, despite so man...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38605578">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[This stunning epic fantasy debut introduces two exciting new authors&#8212;and a world brimming with natural and man-made wonders, extraordinary events, and a crisis that will test the mettle of men, the boundaries of magic, and the heart and soul of a kingdom.<strong><br/><br/></strong>Thanks to its elite Dragon Corps, the capital city of Volstov has all but won the hundred years&#8217; war with its neighboring enemy, the Ke-Han. The renegade airmen who fly the corps&#8217;s mechanical, magic-fueled dragons are Volstov&#8217;s greatest weapon. But now one of its more unruly members is at the center of the city&#8217;s rumor mill, causing a distraction that may turn the tide of victory. <br/><br/>With Volstov immersed in a scandal that may have international repercussions, the Ke-Han devise an ingenious plan of attack. To counter the threat, four ill-assorted heroes must converge to save the kingdom they love: an exiled magician, a naive country boy, a young student&#8212;and the unpredictable ace airman who flies the city&#8217;s fiercest dragon, Havemercy. <br/><br/>But on the eve of battle, these courageous men will face something that could make the most formidable of warriors hesitate, the most powerful of magicians weak, and the most unlikely of men allies in their quest to rise against it....<br/><br/>Filled with adventure and discovery, treachery and betrayal, <strong>Havemercy</strong> is a thrill ride to the unexpected&#8212;and an unforgettable journey that will linger long after the fire of battle has cleared]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I love character-driven books esp. set in a fantasy world and this one was really great and entertaining. The four character voices were really different and interesting and i think it worked well with the background stories. It felt a bit like Sarah Monettes Melusine series even though not as dark....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75864054">more...</a>]]></body>
