Ori Refael Peretz

Founder & author

Ori Refael Peretz is an author and the founder of Platinum Pegasus Publishing. A law student at Nova Southeastern University, he writes across fantasy, espionage and nonfiction, exploring the moments when love, loyalty and ambition ask different things of the same person.

From the responsibilities of a ruler to the promises made between partners, he examines what it means to become worthy of another person’s trust. In The Sovereign Union, that question takes an intimate form: how two people can build a life together while remaining fully themselves.
