Petra hasn&#8217;t had to do a lot of stuff other girls have to do, and she&#8217;s actually enjoyed that. Even arguing with her bossy housekeeper, Dita, has its amusing moments. But, when her father comes home with his head wrapped in bloody bandages, Petra&#8217;s world crashes to the ground. Her father was a brilliant wizard, but without his sight, he&#8217;ll never be able to create again. Everything in their lives depending on her father&#8217;s wizardry, and the patronage of the prince of Bohemia.
