In sixteenth century Bohemia, the ruthless Prince Rodolf commissions the telepathic metalworker Mikhal to create a unique time piece. When it is finished, the prince steals Mikhal's eyes, hoping to gain magical powers. Mikhal's twelve-year-old daughter Petra vows revenge and quickly finds a place for herself in the prince's castle.
But revenge is not easy to get. The task becomes harder when a British spy blackmails Petra to get her to destroy the weather-changing abilities of the clock.

Petra doesn't face the task alone. Meet her new friends: a well-read tin spider named Astrophil who hides in Petra's hair, a sorceress who oozes acid from her skin, and Neel whose ghostly fingers can pick locks and pockets.
Can Petra and her friends foil the evil Prince Rodolf? Will Mikhal regain his magical eyes?
