Charles Stross's Merchant Princes series follows Miriam Beckstein, a technology journalist who discovers that she belongs to a family able to move between alternate versions of Earth. The Family Trade and The Hidden Family begin her involvement with a powerful clan that has built wealth through cross-world commerce, while the later novels expand into political conflict involving governments, economics and several parallel societies. The six original books form a continuing story and should be read in order. The series uses the mechanics of alternate worlds to examine trade and power as much as adventure, and the stakes broaden sharply once modern states understand what the family's ability can do.
