(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
"A sterling conclusion to a strong series." — Publishers Weekly
"Incredibly enjoyable" — SciFi Pulse
In this stunning conclusion to the acclaimed Blood of Earth trilogy—a thrilling alternate history laced with earth magic, fantastic creatures, and steampunk elements—geomancer Ingrid must find a way to use her extraordinary abilities to save her world from the woman hell-bent on destroying it.
Thanks to her geomantic magic, Ingrid has successfully eluded Ambassador Blum, the power-hungry kitsune who seeks to achieve world domination for the Unified Pacific. But using her abilities has taken its toll: Ingrid's body has been left severely weakened, and she must remain on the run with her friends Cy and Fenris.
Hoping to learn more about her magical roots and the strength her bloodline carries, Ingrid makes her way across the Pacific to Hawaii, home to the ancient volcano goddess Madam Pele. What she discovers in this paradise is not at all what she expects—and perhaps exactly what she needs.
But Ambassador Blum comes from the same world of old magic and mythic power. And if Ingrid cannot defeat her once and for all, she knows Blum will use that power to take the lives of everyone she holds dear before escalating a war that will rip the world to pieces.

"Cato skillfully arranges her scenes to underscore the emotional strengths that propel her characters to be 'audacious and brave,' and empathy and redemption are at the heart of her tale. This is a sterling conclusion to a strong series." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A strong and fun read. . . . Incredibly enjoyable" — SciFi Pulse
"Steampunk fans will be thoroughly pleased with the culmination of this fabulous fantasy adventure." — Booklist
"Cato brings increased nuance and skilled characterization to her second Blood of Earth historical fantasy...[she] ably juggles historical fact and fantastical elements to create an alternate 1900s America as finely adorned with Asiatic touches as the modified kimono that Ingrid wears." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Call of Fire
"Where Breath of Earth really shines is in its detail and relevance. Cato's exhaustive research of the time and place gives the book texture and grit...[and] she embroiders it richly with gorgeous period setpieces, imaginative speculation and the charismatic Ingrid herself." — NPR
"The acclaimed Cato creates an alternate early 20th-century San Francisco of stunning detail. Drawing on the power struggles of the refugees and women's work, this vivid reality will keep readers intrigued to the very end." — Library Journal (starred review) on Breath of Earth
"Cato, author of the Clockwork Dagger books, begins a new steampunk fantasy series with supernatural creatures, action-packed adventure, mystery, humor, a touch of romance, and more to come." — Booklist (starred review) on Breath of Earth

The conclusion to Cato's (Red Dust and Dancing Horses and Other Stories, 2017, etc.) Blood of Earth trilogy takes its magically gifted young heroine to Hawaii on a quest to understand both herself and her extraordinary powers so she can save the world and the people she loves.After using her unusually potent earth-based magic to escape the clutches of Ambassador Blum, the ruthless kitsune who is trying to engineer the social and military ascendancy of Japan in Cato's alternate 1906 world, Ingrid finds herself physically weakened and in constant pain. She flees to Hawaii on an airship in the company of her lover, Cy, and their friend Fenris, hoping to confirm her suspicion that she is descended from Madame Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes, earth, and fire. Ingrid's time on Hawaii features a fascinating descent into the crater of Kilauea alongside a group of bumbling tourists, an uncomfortable backdrop of entrenched racism, and a sobering reflection on the consequences of power and personal choices. When their airship leaves the islands, Ingrid and her companions find themselves thrust back into the world of political and military intrigue and must race to California and then on to Arizona to confront their enemies and save their friends. Cato's alternate history, dominated by the Japanese-American alliance of the United Pacific and vicious racism against the Chinese, combines elements of actual history with the idea of an America influenced on every level, whether for good or ill, by a foreign culture. This interesting exercise of imagination is energized by Cato's likable characters but reveals some awkward authorial privilege. Cultural details, other languages, and the experience of living as a person of color are all often deployed with enthusiasm that feels, at best, like a tourist's appreciation and, at worst, like clumsy appropriation.A serviceable ending to a historical fantasy series that shifts between provocatively imagined and culturally clueless.COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Starred review from October 8, 2018
This satisfying finale to the Blood of Earth trilogy (following 2017’s Call of Fire) takes its heroes to the crest of victory. In this alternate early 20th century where magic and politics intertwine, the U.S. and Japan team up for a war against China. Hidden geomancer Ingrid Carmichael, granddaughter of the Hawaiian volcano goddess Madam Pele, is counseled by a legendary Chinese being to deliver a divine weapon, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, to her adoptive brother, Lee, son of the late emperor. This will allow Lee to defeat the Japanese fox spirit who is directing the United Pacific military. Aboard her true love Cy Jenning’s airship, Ingrid must devise a way to infiltrate the colossal United Pacific floating city, Excalibur, and hope to convince Cy’s sister Maggie, the chief engineer, to stop the behemoth before it is used. Cato skillfully arranges her scenes to underscore the emotional strengths that propel her characters to be “audacious and brave,” and empathy and redemption are at the heart of her tale. This is a sterling conclusion to a strong series. Agent: Rebecca Strauss, DeFiore and Company.

Mythology, racial tension, global conquest, humor, history, and romance all intertwine again in this dramatic conclusion to Cato's Blood of Earth trilogy. At the end of Call of Fire (2017), Ingrid Carmichael blocked a tracking spell placed by the kitsune, Japanese Ambassador Blum, by branding her own flesh. The enchantment worked, but with crippling consequences. To avoid further conflict with Blum, Ingrid sets out for Hawaii accompanied by her companions, Cy and Fenris, to seek aid from her grandmother, the goddess Pele. Although pleased to meet her granddaughter, Pele cannot heal the injury and refuses to battle Blum. Ingrid is despondent, but Cy's unwavering love provides renewed strength to persevere. Meanwhile, on the mainland, the ambassador's secret endeavor to subjugate China, the Gaia Project, reaches fruition just as a devastating epidemic sweeps toward the West Coast; there are whispers that this is a retaliatory plague released by the Chinese. Ingrid and friends must return to California for a final confrontation with the kitsune. Steampunk fans will be thoroughly pleased with the culmination of this fabulous fantasy adventure.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
