American Gods

From the introduction:

Welcome, Jumper, to a world like few others. On the surface it’s the same world you know of, the same nations and the same nations. But underneath there are forces old and new moving in the shadows, enacting their own plans and playing their own games.

Just about every myth and fairytale you have ever read is true to some extent or another, and they all have at least a copy here in America, along with many others you never ever got around to reading at all.

And they’re all moving around in the here and now, all working out their own bargains and grudges, their own aims. While the individual details are tricky and convoluted, the basics are thus: Of the old gods that have lost their power, some are resigned to it, and others are not.

Of the ones who aren’t, there’s one in particular putting something pretty big in motion, the consequences of which will be felt by the world before long. Let’s see which side you stand on in all this, eh?

Whether it’s the New Gods or the Old, or perhaps some third faction altogether that you stand with is entirely yours to decide.
