After the epic showdown at Easter's party, Mr Wednesday continues to pitch his case for war to the Old Gods. Mr World plans to take revenge and Technical Boy hunts for Media.
Promising vengeance, Mr Wednesday starts to prepare for a great battle. Laura and Mad Sweeney follow Shadow's diminishing light when he disappears.
Followed by Mr World, Shadow makes his way to Cairo thanks to a ride from Sam Black Crow. Mr Wednesday slyly gains Laura's help in creating an alliance with a powerful god.
While Shadow and Mr Wednesday meet secretly in St Louis, Bilquis arrives at the funeral home in Cairo to debate Mr Nancy and Mr Ibis. Laura rejoins Mad Sweeney.
Steeped in Cairo's history, Shadow discovers the ways of the dead with the help of Mr Ibis and Mr Nancy. In New Orleans, old friends of Mad Sweeney introduce Laura to the world of voodoo healing.
Shadow and Mr Wednesday look for Dvalin to repair the Gungnir spear, but before the dwarf can etch the runes of war, he requires a powerful artefact in exchange.
