The Lost Gate

Short review: This is the best book I have read by Card in a while. He almost always writes about young boys/teens. Card seems to have a special gift at that. This is a modern fantasy that explains the gods of the ancient world. The magic has been diminishing for a while because the gates to the other world where cut off by Loki (the Norse god) about 1400 years ago.

Danny has the power to restore the gate, but the Mages are not sure that it should be restored. So he is on the run, being encouraged by a few and hunted by the rest.
