The Heartfire Healer

So when Dr. Lisette Chen discovers her staff have uploaded their consciousnesses into the massive MMO, Viridian Gate Online, she reluctantly takes a chance and logs in. Her goal? Discover why her colleagues abandoned her when she needed them the most. In a blink, she finds herself in a fantastical world where her healing skills - both as a doctor and a Priestess of Gaia - are sorely needed.

After rescuing a holy relic from Darklings, Liset the Blessed learns no good deed goes unpunished. The Temple of Areste has given her a day and a half to make a choice: be excommunicated for turning in the quest item or excommunicated for stealing it. Either way, she risks losing her hard-earned class as a Priestess of Gaia, and with it, her ability to heal the people of Viridian Gate Online.

Dr. Liset Chen vowed to save her world from the Darklings' influence, but when divine will directs her to Ankara and the Fighting Pit of Kar'Kun—a coliseum that pits the Priest against monsters and other Travelers alike—she must win the tournament and successfully clear a dungeon rumored to be a gateway to Morsheim itself . . . one no team has returned from. With her lover on the rival team and only one respawn left, Liset must prove her conviction, leadership, and faith are enough to seize this last chance to eliminate a source of Darkling power, even if it risks her own damnation.
