Out of the Way Things

Edition Two

Win’s visions have always been dark, disturbing, and—worst of all—real. But when a stranger steps through her waking nightmare and into her life, everything changes.

Win has spent years trapped between the mundane and the terrifying, with a mind-numbing job, piling debt, and unnerving hallucinations. She’s learned to wait them out, believing they’re just an unlucky defect. Until now.

This time, her vision lures her into a mystery. A stranger claims Win’s sight is a gift, that her visions reveal hidden truths of a world teeming with ancient powers and dangers. Pursued by a shadowy force that would do anything to control her abilities, Win is forced to leave her old life behind and dive headfirst into the unknown.

And while she barely knows how to navigate her bills, she’s supposed to uncover her true potential, outwit monsters, and save a world she barely believes in.

Can she learn who to trust—and who to fear—before her visions unravel everything?

Out of the Way Things is a darkly humorous dive into a universe where myth and reality live uncomfortably side-by-side, and begs the question: What if the scariest monsters aren’t the ones in our stories but the ones lurking behind everyday faces?

Hidden world adventure.

This is a great debut novel and an absolute gem! A beautifully narrated book that follows a young woman as she wrestles with her demons only to realize the world around her can’t be taken at face value. My whole family is looking forward to more in the series.
