ABOUT Dragon Ring:

Something mysterious and frightening happens to Nadine when she is very young, causing her to deny her special abilities, and throw herself into mastering virtual reality technology. Yet it is within a virtual reality game where the mysterious again finds her –and does not let go.

When Nadine’s father dies tragically, she goes off in search of what he knew about a new alternative energy system, and as she discovers the alarming truth about the energy source, she finds she can no longer run from her true self –because the safety of the entire Earth depends on it. She also discovers just why a company would lie about the true nature of their energy system, and she must decide what she is going to do with this knowledge.
