Anno domini 1320. Auf einer Klippe hoch über dem Rhein ruft ein kleines Mädchen aus einem vergitterten Brunnenschacht. Noch ahnt Ailis, die beim Burgschmied in die Lehre geht, nichts von dem dunklen Geheimnis der Gefangenen. Doch dann geraten Menschen in den Bann des Teufels in Kindsgestalt, und der magische Lockruf der Loreley droht, das Land ins Verderben zu reißen. Nur Ailis kann die Gefahr noch abwenden. Ihr Weg führt sie in das rätselhafte Reich des Spielmannszaubers.
