With women forced to cover their faces and not speak unless instructed, Karigan struggles to fit into her role in this new society. Karigan no longer recognizes the city - an industrial revolution is underway, with gas lighting, steam engines, factories belching smoke, cotton mills run on slave labor and curious animatronic law enforcers. Soon it is revealed to her that she has been transported nearly 200 years into the future. Her uncle it transpires is a professor of archaeology from high society and has no idea that his new house guest is a real life artifact. Promptly a housekeeper informs her that this is her 'uncle's' house and she is safe and should rest. When Karigan awakes, she has various injuries including a broken arm and can barely walk. An unexpected ally arrives but before she agrees to go with him to a safe haven she is drugged and whisked away. She staggers from the arena and through a dark city completely disoriented, she is set upon by a rowdy bunch of thugs but makes quick work of them with her bonewood staff. She awakens to find herself sealed within a stone sarcophagus, delirious she fights to break out, desperately starved of air she starts to fall unconscious only to be released from the tomb into the bright lights and loud music of a circus stage. To prevent Mornhavon the Black from possessing such a powerful magical item she shatters it and is propelled into darkness. In the heart of Blackveil in the castle Argenthyne, Karigan is confronted by a mysterious figure wearing a mirrored looking mask. Mirror Sight by Kristen Britain is a fantasy novel from 2014, the fifth book in the Green Rider series.
