Bringer-of-Death: Portland Hafu Trilogy Prequel Novelette: The Portland Hafu

By K. Bird Lincoln

Japan lost World War II, but the Tokyo Council still rules the magical Kind with an iron will. When the Council's enforcer, Bringer-of-Death, receives orders to go after a veteran who happens to be a Baku--dream eater-- he is caught between the threat of punishment and his desire to help the Baku escape. Can Bringer-of-Death find a way to both protect his family and the Baku? Or will he be trapped as the Council's slave forever?

This is a Prequel to the Portland Hafu Trilogy wherein you get to see Ken meet Herai Akihito years before the events of Dream Eater begin.
