  In the bustling streets of Persia, Emperor Kosrouschah wanders in disguise and overhears three sisters dreaming out loud—one craving the royal baker, another the chief cook, and the youngest daring to wish for the emperor himself… and children touched by wonder: hair of gold and silver, tears like pearls, a smile like a rose. 
  Kosrouschah grants every wish. But inside the palace, jealousy turns vicious. A queen is shamed, cast out, and left to suffer beneath the gaze of the public—while her lost children are secretly saved and raised far from court, growing into brilliant, accomplished heirs who don’t know their true blood. 
  When a mysterious holy woman speaks of three marvels—the Talking Bird, the Singing Tree, and the Golden Water—the siblings’ quiet life ignites into a perilous journey of illusion, courage, and trial. At the edge of a mountain haunted by unseen voices, one sister must do what no one else can: claim the wonders, reclaim her family, and let the truth finally speak.
