Ok. The pme "denouement healing" book that I thought was Patricia Brigg's _When Demons Walk_ (I had another when I first posted, but I can't remember it now :-J).

I'd argue that _The Serpent Mage_ (Greg Bear) also counts, though there's a fight scene after the denouement healing, it's just less important to the overall arc of the book. Also maybe _A Wrinkle in Time_?
