Set in medieval times, the telenovela shows a history of love established between a prince and a plebeian, who survives in a chaotic kingdom called Belaventura, where numerous conflicts and wars are proclaimed and whose castle is surrounded by guards.

At the beginning of the 15th century, the millennial war between Redenção and Valedo - led by the dukes Otoniel and Severo - finally comes to an end with a peace agreement to unify them, creating the kingdom of Belaventura.

Otoniel is the father of the prince-heir Enrico, noble Lizabeta and the bitter Carmona, who detests her brother in secret for not being chosen as a successor to the throne.

Her mother Lucy disappeared after constant attacks from the Pure Order, an inquisitorial group that promotes witch-hunt, led by the machiavellian Cedric, who is also the king's advisor.

Severo also returns to the kingdom with a heart filled with hatred and revenge, being increasingly manipulated by his wife Marion, an ambitious and disingenuous duchess, who has never accepted the fact that she did not become queen.
