Description
Description
Father Dinis is a man of faith who often finds himself trading one personality for another as he serves different people in different ways. When João, a teenager born out of wedlock and raised in an orphanage, begins asking questions about his parents, Dinis arranges for him to be introduced to his mother, who turns out to be a wealthy countess, Angela. While Angela is married, her jealous and short-tempered husband is not the father, and when word spreads that she is carrying another man’s child, the Marquis of Montezelos arranges for the biological father to be killed and hires an outlaw named the Knife-Eater to murder the child after it is born.
