When Russia attacked Ukraine in February 24, 2022, Oleg Veretskiy’s career as an author was just taking off. Without hesitation, Oleg put his writing career on hold to support his country’s fight for freedom and rebuilding; eventually joining the military. Pierce Press is honored to be able to publish Oleg’s magical tale in English and eventually more languages, so that the world can enjoy his transcendent storytelling. Book One is available now, order online or get the special first edition directly from the publisher.
In recognition of Oleg’s courageous service to his country and humanity, the publisher will transfer all net revenue for this first book in his trilogy to the author.
Oleg’s trilogy is translated by Marina Palenyy Bailey in close cooperation with author Oleg. Book One just rolled off the press, but Marina’s already diving head-first into Book Two! Our lead editor is Megan McKenna; UCCN Chronicles artist Daria Kochnieva created the cover illustration; digital nomad Luis Esquivel parries our complex requests and returns amazing graphics from Argentina; and Kelly Shifflett aka our “book-mother” proofreads, cheerleads, and sends us her natural artwork. Laura Williams rocks as our WordPress web wizard. Additional editing and proofreading was done by Ceylan Ozguner, Maryam Nawaz, and Megan Harris.

The Story
Brace yourself. You are about to dive into the fantastical tale of a precocious girl named Lisa. As she embarks on a quest to save her mother using an enchanted music box that she must learn how to fix, Lisa braves heart-pounding encounters with fantastical creatures. While on the run from malevolent forces that wish to take her down in order to steal her supernatural powers, she unlocks secrets in ancient wisdom, and forges her own identity. Throughout her adventures, Lisa takes charge of her own coming-of-age and in the process, becomes the heroine of her own journey. Readers daring enough to follow Lisa will become intimately acquainted with the strange beasts of the worlds of the Wandering Mists — the air- and earth-bound Dolphins, the petrifying Riven, the quarrelsome Inside-Out Man, the sinister Acrid, the wild and wondrous Gardener, and even the enchanting Craftsman who is able to fix anything. Welcome to the Worlds of the Wandering Mists!
