In the turbulent eighteenth century, Valentine and Cecilia are two young men who fall in love but belong to different worlds and many will have to fight for happiness.

It all begins in 1717 with the arrival in Brazil of the Count of Assumar and his small entourage, which belonged to the young Cecilia de Sa. The group is attacked by a gang of robbers led by Molina, who kidnaps the girl enchanted by its beauty. But Valentine comes to her rescue, giving birth to a love that forever changes the lives of two. The future of the novel is compromised as soon as Cecilia comes home and discovers that his father, Don Lawrence, already has a suitor for her hand, the rich and powerful nobleman Don Ferdinand de Avelar.

But the well has a powerful weapon, because when your faith gets to the heart, miracles happen all the appearances of marriage, and suffered silently with the infidelity of a strong friend and ambitious Philip Pedrosa, a cold man, who takes over the action directly, after the mysterious disappearance of his partner, the ordinary businessman, rich and admired Dom Augustine de Miranda.
