Loretta was a young woman born and raised in the court of a great European kingdom between the 17th and 18th centuries. Determined and romantic, since adolescence she had harbored a powerful feeling in her heart: a passion for her cousin Raul. Only one detail was between them: Raul was a priest, committed to his vocation.

With no hope of winning Raul's heart, Loretta irretrievably loses her great love to the Church. And so her saga begins: unhappy to accept her fate, she vows revenge, sparing no effort to achieve it. Amidst new loves and disappointments, time passes and Loretta falls in love with King Henry at a royal celebration. Their relationship begins, and her feelings are reciprocated...

Loretta then becomes queen of a rich and prosperous empire, loved by the people, powerful and energetic. However, the Law of Action and Reaction is relentless and will make itself felt even in this life.

The consequences of her actions will echo all the way to colonial Brazil, where the grower Archimedes, a major cocoa exporter, will reveal new hidden facts in a past filled with love and ambition. Loretta will come face to face with her own mistakes... How can she seek forgiveness from so many she has hurt?
