The Dradon Project

What do you do when you find out your entire life has been based on a lie? That's the question Tristan Carlisle has been trying to answer ever since the day she first heard the words 'The Dradon Project.' At thirty-one she has experienced more than most people suffered in a lifetime: being raised by an unapproachable father and an aloof mother, making the frightening discovery that she was very different from other children including her sister, and then being removed from home at the tender age of thirteen and sent to the Coneta School where 'special' kids like her learned to develop their psychic abilities had all served to make her a little cynical. It was no wonder that Tristan couldn't trust anyone.
But she was a Number and somehow she had learned to accept that. Over the years she had even learned to like it, following the career path of many of the Numbers and continuing to work for the SIB. And then overnight, everything changed. Suddenly she found herself alone and running, from her past and all the people in it, people she had learned to trust. After being on the run for three years and making no progress, Tristan had just about given up on the notion of ever figuring out exactly what the Dradon Project was and how it had impacted her past and continued to influence her future. Until now. When Tristan finds herself in the dying town of Knollsville, Indiana, a town burdened by some heavy secrets of its own, she discovers the answers to all the questions she ever had and some she'd never thought to ask.
