Time to do the impossible. Time to find a way between worlds. Time to find each other again.
Both Nimh and her enemy, Inshara, have been sent to the cloudlands. Above, Nimh has no memory of her past, only an aching, undying certainty that she has left something - someone - behind. But while she struggles to recall her identity, an impostor wields her name with deadly purpose. Below, North looks to the sky, desperate to join the ones he loves and return to his world. But with only a traitor willing to help him, and others clamouring for him to take Nimh's place, the journey seems more impossible than ever. Enemies lurk in each world, and tragedy looms as the cloudland engines falter and mist rains terror on the surface. In their desperation to reunite and save their people, Nimh and North face one ultimate question: Can they defy their love and their destiny to save their homes? Or will the spark between them ignite their worlds and consume them altogether?
PRAISE FOR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SKY
'A vivid and compulsive thriller set in a beautiful, perilous world of myths and treachery. You won't want to put it down.' Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series
'I was left breathless by the book's twists and turns, and was unprepared for the ending - it blew me away. Stop everything and read it!' C.S. Pacat, bestselling author of Dark Rise and the Captive Prince series

Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner are long-time friends and sometime flatmates who have travelled the world (but not yet the galaxy), covering every continent between them. Amie, who is the co-author of the Illuminae Files and the Aurora Cycle, lives in Melbourne, Australia. Meagan, who is also the author of the Hunted trilogy, lives in North Carolina in the US (though she considers herself an honorary Aussie). Together, they are the authors of The Other Side of the Sky, These Broken Stars and the rest of the Starbound trilogy. You can find them at www.amiekaufman.com and www.meaganspooner.com
'Beyond the End of the World brings together the incredible
worldbuilding and engaging characters that Amie Kaufman and Meagan
Spooner introduced in The Other Side of the Sky for a satisfying
conclusion epic in scope and intensely personal in stakes ...
Kaufman and Spooner use each other's voice and authorial strengths
to deliver two worlds that feel distinct but connected. The depth
and complexity of societal history and each character's emotional
journeys feel real and earned, allowing the reader to invest fully
in the personal stakes between Nimhara and North leading to the
explosive climax ... For readers who enjoy innovative magic systems
and fantastical societies that come alive through tangible history,
tradition, fractured politics and faith, this duology is a must
read.' Aurealis magazine
'Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner once again prove they are a 'dream
team' of authors ... Like its predecessor, Beyond the End of the
World includes lavish world-building and excellent pacing. Kaufman
and Spooner somehow maintain that delicate balance between creating
breakneck speed in the plot and exhausting the reader; instead
there are tense, stressful moments and there are beautiful, more
leisurely moments. A triumph of a conclusion to an excellent tale.'
Ruth magazine
Praise for The Other Side of the Sky
'Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner prove they are two living
goddesses of writing, creating two compelling worlds with high
stakes and gripping emotions.' Sarah Rees Brennan, New York Times
bestselling author of the Demons Lexicon trilogy
'Kaufman and Spooner, who also collaborated on the Starbound
Trilogy, return with another richly drawn, tantalizingly romantic
SF series starter. An especially action-packed back half will
ensure readers come running back for the next volume.' Booklist
'Co-authors Kaufman and Spooner (the Unearthed duology) reunite for
this propulsive, tender-hearted duology opener ... evocative prose,
escalating intrigue, and charismatic, predominantly olive- and
brown-skinned characters with diverse sexual orientations and
gender identities keep the pages turning.' Publishers Weekly
'A complex, intricately woven tale, placed in an intriguing and
unique world. This passionate story will thrill devotees of Kaufman
and Spooner's "Starbound" series while also appealing to fans of
Naomi Novik, Marissa Meyer, and Claudia Gray.' School Library
