When Geoffrey Hoover walks out of prison after serving fifteen years for murder, he returns to a changed Jacksonville with nothing but anger, street reputation, and nowhere to go. But after crossing paths with the mysterious former convict and scholar Elijah Moses, Geoffrey finds purpose inside a growing spiritual movement built on lost history, Black empowerment, astrology, discipline, and faith.
Reborn as G-Hova, the Sun of God, Geoffrey transforms from ex-gang member to powerful religious leader. His movement, the Children of the 12 Houses, spreads across the South, attracting hustlers, addicts, prisoners, politicians, celebrities, and people desperate for hope. But as his influence grows, so does his ego.
When G-Hova falls in love with nightclub star Christina Christian and renames her Selah Shalom, they become the royal couple of a rising empire. Together they build a kingdom worshipped by thousands. But behind the luxury, sermons, and devotion lies something darker-control, fear, paranoia, and the dangerous obsession of a man who no longer knows the difference between being loved and being worshipped.
As Selah flees across America with their young son, Emmanuel, G-Hova unleashes his followers in a relentless hunt to bring them home. Years later, Emmanuel must confront the truth about the father he barely remembers, the movement he was born into, and the empire waiting for him to inherit.
The Faux Prophet and the Children of the 12 Houses is a gripping, emotional urban drama about faith, power, manipulation, family, freedom, and the dangerous cost of building a kingdom around one man.
