4-6Kronos Chronicles series.
Petra Kronos's father has magical abilities to construct creatures out of tin and to make a wondrous weather-controlling clock. When the prince of Bohemia blinds Kronos, cutting out his eyes and magicking them for his own use, Petra resolves to steal them back from the prince's Cabinet of Wonders. Rutkoski's bucolic old-world atmosphere keeps her workmanlike plotting feeling fresh and fortuitous.
