Description

A veil of prophecy looms over the Silva family as the ancient lion’s black tongue is lost, fulfilling a foreboding prediction that threatens their ancestral home. In the dim corridors of the Bellas estate, the elderly Brigida discovers that the house is slated for sale, a fate sealed by the restless spirit of Roque, a specter who once guided heirs and exposed hidden crimes. As she confronts the looming loss, the tale weaves together whispered legends, lingering superstitions, and the stubborn resilience of a woman determined to protect her lineage.

Meanwhile, Carlos, a young heir tangled in debts and the weight of his father’s ambitions, proposes a daring escape to the countryside, hoping to rebuild a shattered future alongside Brigida. Their tentative partnership sparks both hope and tension, as they navigate family curses, lingering ghosts, and the uncertain promise of a new beginning. The early chapters balance mystery with vivid portraiture of 19th‑century Portuguese life, inviting listeners into a world where history, fate, and personal courage intersect.
