Tainted Earth is a five-book dystopian series by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, published between 2017 and 2018. The books are set in a world that has been devastated by a catastrophic event, leaving the survivors to rebuild and fight over what remains. The series starts with Afflicted and moves through Altered, Adapted, and Advanced.

This was one of the duo’s earlier series, written before Zodiac Academy made them household names in the romantasy space. It has a grittier, more post-apocalyptic feel compared to their later fantasy work, though the romance elements are still present.
