					<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the Carnival FantÃ¡stico, a spectacle of magic and mischief, and the perfect haven for a runaway. Using her tricks and razor-sharp wit, Esmeralda becomes the carnival's resident fortune-teller, aiming for the lead role in the Big Top Show. Success would mean freedom from her former employer, the commander of the King's army. Ignacio has defected from the army and is on the hunt for evidence of his father's corruption. But the last thing he expects to find on his father's trail of lies is the only girl he's ever loved, spinning false fortunes at a traveling carnival. Perhaps fortune has thrown them together for a reason. They strike a deal: she'll help him expose his father if he helps her secure the main act. But old feelings don't die easily, and the commander's secret isn't the only thing they'll need to confront.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Teenager Porter Simms lives with surrogate parents and only a distant memory of his real ones: a car in the snow, a set of electrodes on his forehead, playing chess with his dad on an iPad - and then the accident. When a friend of his parents locates him, Porter is persuaded to try this experimental technology again - only now it has evolved to give him abilities that most people could only dream of. And this time it's a game with global stakes. Now Porter is able to 'channel' data wirelessly to his brain - a.k.a. his 'domain': from martial artist to concert pianist, free climber to linguist, a menu of abilities at the blink of an eye. But there's a major catch: he is permanently online, a device of the government, and every time he uses the skills, he loses a part of himself. To make matters worse, an unseen enemy wants him taken offline - permanently.]]></description>
