'Time to stop Inshara. Time to find a way between worlds. Time to find each other again.
'Nimh still holds on to her divinity, if only by a thread. In her final confrontation with Inshara, the woman determined to take her place and rule Nimh's kingdom, both Nimh and her enemy were sent to the world above, in the cloudlands.
'Now North looks to the sky, left behind on the surface world. Desperate for a chance to join the girl he loves and save his world, North will stop at nothing to find a way back to his home in the sky-city of Ciel. Before it's too late to save anyone.
'But more awaits them in the world above than North or Nimh could ever expect. And as they come together and team up with allies from above and below, they face an ultimate test of their bond, their abilities, and their belief in each other in a quest to save their worlds.'

'Two worlds, two hearts and a choice that will shape their fate forever.

But in the midst of the surface's worst crisis yet, a mist that spreads madness and poison, doubts have arisen among the people about Nimh's divinity. She must find a way to manifest her power - before she is overthrown, and all is lost.
'North's and Nimh's lives are entwined - though their hearts can never be. Linked by a terrifying prophecy and caught between duty and fate, they must choose to either save their people, or succumb to the bond that is forbidden to them.' (Publication summary)
