The Prophets

by Robert Jones, Jr.

Set in the antebellum South, 'The Prophets' unveils the profound bond between two enslaved men, Isaiah and Samuel. Within the confines of a brutal plantation, the barn becomes their sanctuary, a secret place for their love to flourish amid the oppression. But when their relationship is exposed, it ignites tension among the enslaved community, manipulated by a fellow slave preaching the master's hateful doctrine. Amidst the backdrop of inhumane cruelty, the novel weaves a narrative that explores the complexities of love, betrayal, and the unyielding resilience of the human spirit, grounded in the rich tradition of African American storytelling.
