Contrarian Publishing is thrilled to reveal the cover for Zorah Starr’s debut Afrofantasy The False Hero!

After a deadly attack on her island, outcast Kione is tired of waiting for the prophesied Destined to save the world. She sets off to traverse across Myre, assemble a team to help her, and try not to get uncovered as a fraud along the way.

THE FALSE HERO by @legendofzorah releases on February 16, 2027 and is available for preorder now!
