Dragon Ring by Lettie Prell is a science fiction novel set i in the near future.

Nadine is a special young woman. She is the daughter of the man who transformed the small nation of Guatemala into the world’s largest and most powerful corporation. Nadine is an expert at virtual-reality applications, and when she goes undercover to find her father’s killers, she discovers a power within the Earth that can transform civilization — or destroy entire cities. She must face the juggernaut of corporate greed and secrecy to stop an experiment that could have cataclysmic consequences.

Although she is a skeptic, Nadine is finding that the magic claimed by mystics for centuries has real roots, and combining this mystical energy with virtual-reality control gives her the only tool that can stop the impending catastrophe … but at a great cost. She has awakened a beast within her own spirit that threatens to consume her.
