In Portugal, where the Inquisition protects the true word of God, Father Manoel Pessoa has begun to hear strange confessions from the villagers of Quintas. Glowing lights in the sky. Angels who lie with village women. A virgin birth. Strangest of all. some people—including King Afonso himself—have seen a ship fall to Earth, round like an acorn.
