Donnerjack, a science fiction novel by Roger Zelazny and Jane Lindskold, 1997.
One of Zelazny's last works. Computers have gone independent in a Virtual Reality that contains many elements borrowed from myth and legend. Death features as a major character, and the hero must rescue his lady-love from him. Other actual and virtual myth-figures come into it.
It is not connected with Jack of Shadows

The Charm of the Angel of the Forsaken Hope
"Angel of the Forsaken Hope,
wielder of the Sword of Wind and Obsidian,
slice the algorithms from our Foe.
Mermaid Beneath the Seven Dancing Moons,
Cantress of the Siren Song,
drown our enemies in the data stream.
Nymph of the Logic Tree,
Child of the First Word,
give our antagonist to grief."
