Just as he is released, he learns that his wife, Laura, has been killed in a car accident. Shadow is devastated by her death, and is distraught to learn that she died alongside his best friend Robbie, with whom she had been having an affair. As he was supposed to get a job from Robbie upon his release from prison, Shadow is out of luck and has to figure out what to do now. With nowhere to go, Shadow takes a job as a bodyguard for a mysterious <a href="/wiki/Con_man" class="mw-redirect" title="Con man">con man</a>, Mr. Wednesday, and travels with him across the United States. Shadow meets a <a href="/wiki/Leprechaun" title="Leprechaun">leprechaun</a> named Mad Sweeney, who gives Shadow a magical gold coin after Shadow beats him in a fight. Shadow later tosses the coin into Laura's grave at her funeral, inadvertently bringing her back from the dead as a <a href="/wiki/Revenant" title="Revenant">revenant</a>. Shadow meets <a href="/wiki/Chernobog" class="mw-redirect" title="Chernobog">Czernobog</a> and the three Zorya Sisters. One of the sisters gives Shadow a silver coin, coming from the Moon, to protect him. Shadow learns that Wednesday is an incarnation of <a href="/wiki/Odin" title="Odin">Odin</a> the All-Father, and that he is recruiting American manifestations of the Old Gods, whose powers have waned as their believers have decreased in number, to participate in a battle against the New Gods – manifestations of what humanity now worships, such as technology, media, pop-culture, and modern means of transport. Shadow meets many of Wednesday's allies, including Mr. Nancy, <a href="/wiki/%C4%92ostre" title="Ēostre">Easter</a>, Whiskey Jack, and John Chapman. </p><p>The New Gods henchmen, the Spooks, abduct Shadow; Laura rescues him, killing several Spooks in the process. Wednesday tells Shadow to hide with Mr. Ibis and Mr. Jacquel, who run a funeral parlor in <a href="/wiki/Cairo,_Illinois" title="Cairo, Illinois">Cairo, Illinois</a>. Sweeney appears and asks Shadow to give back the coin, which holds all of Sweeney's power. Shadow admits that he no longer has the coin and Sweeney dies. His body is tended to by Ibis and Jacquel, who lament the loss of another Old God. On the way to the Wisconsin community of Lakeside, Shadow picks up the hitchhiker Samantha Black Crow and drops her off at her house. Once in Lakeside, Shadow hides under the alias "Mike Ainsel" and spends time with several Lakeside residents who all live simple but happy and prosperous lives. Wednesday periodically takes Shadow on jobs to meet other gods. They are pursued all the while by the Spooks, particularly Mr. Town, who blames Shadow for the death of his friends. When a teenager in Lakeside goes missing, Shadow helps the other residents search for her, to no avail. Shadow learns that children and teenagers often go missing from Lakeside. He is then arrested for breaking his parole, but escapes with help from Czernobog and Mr. Nancy. </p><p>The New Gods seek to parley with Wednesday, but murder him at the meeting. This act is witnessed by and galvanizes the Old Gods, and they rally to face their enemies in battle at <a href="/wiki/Rock_City_(attraction)" title="Rock City (attraction)">Rock City</a>. While retrieving Wednesday's body, Shadow is surprised to discover his old prison cellmate and mentor, Low Key Lyesmith, is working as a driver for the New Gods. Shadow is bound by his contract with Wednesday to hold his vigil by re-enacting Odin's time hanging from a "<a href="/wiki/World_Tree" class="mw-redirect" title="World Tree">World Tree</a>" while pierced by a spear for nine days. During these nine days, he is visited by <a href="/wiki/Horus" title="Horus">Horus</a>, who has become mad from living too long as a hawk. Shadow dies and visits the land of the dead, where he is judged by Anubis. Shadow learns that he is Wednesday's (Odin's) son, conceived as part of the deity's plans. During this time, Mr. Town arrives at the World Tree, ordered by Mr. World to cut a branch from it. </p><p>Horus finds Easter and convinces her to bring Shadow back to life. Shadow realizes Mr. World is actually Low Key (<a href="/wiki/Loki" title="Loki">Loki</a>) Lyesmith, and that Odin and Loki have been working a "<a href="/wiki/Confidence_trick" class="mw-redirect" title="Confidence trick">two-man con</a>". They orchestrated Shadow's birth, his meeting of Loki in disguise in prison, and Laura's death. Loki had arranged for Odin's murder, thus making the battle between the New and Old Gods a sacrifice to Odin, restoring Odin's power, while also allowing Loki to feed on the chaos of the battle. </p><p>Laura chooses to hitchhike to Rock City and meets Mr. Town, who does not realize who she is, and they agree to travel together. During their travels, Laura learns who Mr. Town is and, once they arrive at their destination, kills him and takes the branch he took from the World Tree. She meets with Loki and manages to stab him with the World Tree branch, which turns into a spear as she stabs. </p><p>Shadow arrives at Rock City and confronts Loki, now gravely wounded, and the ghost of Odin, who reveal their plans. Shadow travels to the site of the battle and explains that both sides have nothing to gain and everything to lose, with Odin and Loki as the only true winners. Shadow tells them the United States is a bad place for Gods, and he recommends they return to their original homelands. The gods depart, Loki dies, and Odin's ghost fades. Laura asks Shadow to take the coin from her, which he does, and she finally dies. </p><p>After resting with Mr. Nancy, Shadow remembers a dream where the <a href="/wiki/Hinduism" title="Hinduism">Hindu</a> god <a href="/wiki/Ganesha" title="Ganesha">Ganesha</a> told him to "look in the trunk". He returns to Lakeside and walks onto the thinning ice toward the car resting there. He picks the lock and opens the trunk to find the body of the missing teenager inside. He falls through the ice and, while trapped beneath, sees cars from past winters resting on the lake floor. Each one presumably has a child's body locked inside. Shadow is saved by Hinzelmann, who takes him to his house and treats him for hypothermia. Shadow realizes that <a href="/wiki/Hinzelmann" title="Hinzelmann">Hinzelmann</a> is a god and is also responsible for the children's kidnappings and deaths. Hinzelmann explains that he regretfully must take one child as a sacrifice each year in exchange for the town's prosperity. The townspeople are unaware of this and Hinzelmann's control of the town as he tries to sacrifice children that no one will greatly miss. Shadow thinks of killing Hinzelmann, but finds he cannot as Hinzelmann saved his life. However, Chad Mulligan overhears the conversation and shoots Hinzelmann, killing him. Shadow and Chad drive away, with Chad guilty to the point of suicide. Shadow concludes this is a fail-safe created by Hinzelmann so that whoever killed him would die soon after. Using magic, Shadow takes Chad's memory of overhearing Hinzelmann and the killing. He leaves Chad and Lakeside behind, understanding that the town's prosperity will likely wither away without Hinzelmann's protection. </p><p>In Iceland, Shadow meets another incarnation of Odin (created by the belief of the original settlers of Iceland), who is much closer than Wednesday to the Odin of mythology. Shadow accuses Odin of Wednesday's actions, but Odin retorts: "He was me, yes. But I am not him." He indicates that Wednesday was the part of him that went with his followers when they traveled to the new world and became corrupted as he was gradually forgotten. Shadow gives Wednesday's glass eye to Odin, which Odin places in a leather bag as a keepsake. Shadow performs a simple sleight-of-hand coin trick, which delights Odin, who asks for a repeat performance. Shadow then performs a small piece of real magic, pulling a golden coin from nowhere like Mad Sweeney did when they first met. He then flips the coin up into the air and walks away, wondering if the coin will ever come back down. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characters">Characters</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=American_Gods&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Characters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mortals">Mortals</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=American_Gods&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Mortals"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><b>Shadow Moon</b> – an ex-convict who becomes the reluctant bodyguard and errand boy of Mr. Wednesday (Odin).</li> <li><b>Laura Moon</b> – Shadow's wife, who dies in a car crash at the beginning of the novel, a few days before Shadow is due to be released from prison.</li> <li><b>Samantha "Sam" Black Crow</b> – a hitchhiking college student whom Shadow meets during his journey.</li> <li><b>Chad Mulligan</b> – a kind-hearted chief of police in the town of Lakeside.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Old_Gods">Old Gods</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=American_Gods&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Old Gods"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><b>Mr. Wednesday</b> – an aspect of <a href="/wiki/Odin" title="Odin">Odin</a>, the Old <a href="/wiki/Norse_mythology" title="Norse mythology">Norse</a> god of knowledge and wisdom.</li> <li><b>Low-Key Lyesmith</b> – <a href="/wiki/Loki" title="Loki">Loki</a>, the Old Norse god of mischief and trickery.
