Those Old Gods

The Those Old Gods Series, Book 1

By N.J. Leaver

Divine bureaucracy. Queer grief. One Seer just trying not to explode on company time.

The gods didn’t retire. They unionised.

Meet Juno seer-class, divine-adjacent, and one decision away from a disciplinary on any given Tuesday. Welcome to the Company, an oh-so-British bureaucracy that files incident reports on eldritch hazards, negotiates with divine egos, and keeps the magic-adjacent digital paperwork.

Across darkly funny tales, Juno stumbles through:

a concept that shouldn’t exist (and knows exactly how to embarrass you),
a petty feud with Death over a sandwich (it escalates),
a “shortcut” through the wrong plane in a Company car (do not whisper to the dashboard), and
a surprise “parenting day” with Nature herself (flowers are spying now; please act normal)

Sharp, deadpan, and a little feral, this collection blends urban fantasy, mythic fallout, and office satire. Perfect for fans of Good Omens, Rivers of London, and “what if The Umbrella Academy had to fill out risk assessments.”

British wit, queer vibes, eldritch admin, found-family edges, a haunted vending machine, and one very tired HR (sorry—Divine Resources).
