Imagine an alternate universe where romance and technology reign. Where tinkerers and dreamers craft and recraft a world of automatons, ornate clockworks, calculating machines, and other marvels that. Where scientists and schoolgirls, fair folk and Romans, intergalactic bandits, and intrepid orphans - decked out in corsets, clockwerk suits, and tall black boots - solve dastardly crimes, escape from monstrous predicaments, consult oracles, and hover over volcanoes in steam-powered airships.

بهاء الدين طفل كان يعيش قبل بضعة عقود، في بلاد فيها سهول واسعة، حيث أراد النبي موسى عليه السلام أن يقود شعبه، وعلى سطح بحارها سار المسيح عليه السلام، ومن قمم جبالها العالية صعد الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى السماء . كان الصغير يدعو باستمرار أصدقاءه لتناول الطعام واللعب في بيته، كان يعرف أنهم لم يكونوا أغنياء مثله، وكان والديه وأصدقاءه يحبونه حباً جماً. في كل مرة يثبت بهاء الدين أنه قادر على مساعدة الناس والوقوف إلى جانبهم ومراعاة مشاعرهم والتوفيق بين أبناء بلدته المتخاصمين، حتى استطاع أخيرا أن ينشر السلام في بلدته، ليعيش الجميع بسلام وهناء.
