Plot
The central plot revolves around the story of a handsome and charismatic man named Mark, who grew up with the gift of clairvoyance. As a child, he predicted the death of his brother Luke, but was unable to stop it. Mark went to São Paulo with his sister and his niece, Esther Baby. While living in São Paulo he fell in love with Sonia, a beautiful young girl, who is engaged to Mark's cousin Camilo, who worked at the industrial plant Golden Crystals, which was owned by the millionaire Clovis Moura. Clovis was having a secret affair with Ruth, the elder sister of Professor Carola. Ruth was an overweight, chubby and unattractive girl, but was blessed with a good heart.
Carola fell in love with Mark, and even though it was unrequited, she became a great friend of his. Mark earned a living by using his special powers on a television show. However, after Sonia stops her romance with Mark and is separated from him several times because of Ruth, she decides to marry Clovis, to forget about Mark. But she soon realizes that she still loves Mark after Clovis shows her a sick person that poisoned his first wife, Laura. Clovis knows that Mark and Sonia are in love with each other, and he keeps her under false imprisonment in the attic of his mansion in order to prevent her from escaping.
In addition to beating his wife and threatening her in every way possible, Clovis is also unable to get her pregnant because he was sterile, and the daughter who blames him, is nothing more than the result of an extra-marital affair, the mother of whom he killed, causing her to suffer a lot of anguish in life. In the new year, the two manage to escape and they spend a night of love on a beach for the first time together, and Sonia loses her virginity. But Clovis and Sonia once again go back to his house to threaten the life of his father, Piragibe. Some months later, Sonia discovers that she became pregnant with Mark at the end of the new year and needs to hide it from Clovis.
With the help of Carol and delegate Arnaldo Moreira, Sonia is rescued and moves in with Mark, which causes the anger of Clovis. Ruth helps Clovis by joining forces to manipulate Sonia and Mark in exchange for shares in the Golden Crystals plant. In this way, Mark is gradually ruined to the point of losing all his powers and is forced to have them used commercially, rather than to use them for the benefit of others.
After numerous kidnappings of Sonia ordered by Clovis, he is eventually poisoned and killed by Ruth, who is caught at the end of the novel. Thus, Mark, who began to use his gift properly, joins Sonia in a marriage ceremony. And their son, named Daniel, born with the gift of healing, discovered in the last chapter of the novel, after a passage of 25 years, finds the cure for cancer.
