A little princess was born with streams of tears and unable to stop them. On the night when her tears flowed over the entire kingdom, an adventurous journey of self-discovery that she had never dreamt of began. Will she be able to get past her own self-doubt and grow up with the help of lovely friends she meets along the way?

A princess and a thief meet in the desert and go on a magical quest to find the Tears of Hathor. At the beginning of time, the Egyptian god Horus was blinded by his jealous brother and fell in pain on the Island of Flames in the Sea of Chaos. Hathor, the goddess of beauty, found Horus and cried, shedding tears that fell on Horus and brought back his sight. The Tears still exist, dripping from a large turquoise eye deep in a cave. Whoever can find the Tears will be freed of all curses and evil.

"Like I said, you're just my concubine, not my wife. I'm not married yet, so you should always remember who you are."Qin Shan stopped walking and said with a frown.Madame Xiao had always been the most disciplined person, why would he suddenly ask like that today?Madame Xiao was really unreconciled. Her tears still remained, but they couldn't make Qin Si's heart soften.He did not see much of a woman's tears, but only some of Shui Qin's tears made him feel pity.

Apart from the fifteen years that Sher Shah Suri snatched upon defeating Humayun, the flag of the grand Mughal Empire flew over Delhi undefeated for over 300 years. But then, 1857 arrived and the mighty sword fell helpless in the face of a mightier British force. After the fall of Delhi and Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar's tragic departure from the Red Fort in 1857, members of the royal Mughal court had to flee to safer places. Driven out from their palaces and palanquins onto the streets in search of food and shelter, the dethroned royals scrambled to survive. Some bore their fate with a bitter pride, others succumbed to the adversity. Through twenty-nine accounts of the survivors of the Uprising of 1857, Khwaja Hasan Nizami documents the devastating tale of the erstwhile glorious royalty's struggle with the hardships thrust upon them by a ruthless new enemy. In vivid and tragic stories drawn from the recollection of true events, Nizami paints a picture of a crumbling historical era and another charging forward to take its place. With the reminiscence of past glory contrasted against the drudgery of everyday survival, Tears of the Begums - the first ever English translation of Nizami's invaluable Urdu book Begumat ke Aansoo - chronicles the turning of the wheel of fortune in the aftermath of India's first war of independence.
