💔 A love story. A history erased. A truth reclaimed.

Robert Jones, Jr.’s The Prophets is a breathtaking novel about forbidden love, survival, and resistance on a Southern plantation. At the heart of the story are Samuel and Isaiah, two enslaved men whose love for each other becomes both a refuge and a threat in a world built on oppression. Their bond challenges everything—societal norms, faith, and the plantation’s brutal hierarchy. But as whispers of rebellion grow, so does the danger surrounding them.
