Blood of Earth is a three-book alternate history fantasy trilogy by Beth Cato published between 2016 and 2018. The series begins with Breath of Earth and is set in a version of early twentieth-century America where the United States and Japan are united as a world power and where geomancers — people who can channel the energy of the earth — exist and are politically significant. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake forms a backdrop to the first book.
The trilogy follows Ingrid Carmichael, a young geomancer who must navigate the violent political landscape of this alternate America. The three books — Breath of Earth, Call of Fire, and Roar of Sky — form a complete, self-contained story. The series is notable for its diverse cast and its grounding in real historical tensions applied to a fantasy framework.
