New from E L James

E L James’s Darker: Fifty Shades Darker As Told By Christian to be published 28 November 2017.

We are thrilled to be publishing Darker: Fifty Shades Darker as Told by Christian by E L James this November.

In Darker, E L James revisits the world of Fifty Shades with a re-telling of Fifty Shades Darker from Christian Grey’s point of view.  Ever since the 2015 publication of Grey, fans have been clamouring for a continuation of the series in Christian’s voice.

“The inside of Christian's head is a pretty daunting place to be,” said James. “Writing Darker offered me new insights into his character and motivations, and I hope readers find those insights as compelling as I did.”

Selina Walker, Publisher of Arrow and E L James’s UK editor says: “Christian Grey is one of the most conflicted and charismatic heroes of modern fiction, and this new book is full of surprises. In Darker, Ana and Christian confront some seemingly insuperable challenges, and I - like millions of other 'Fifty' fans - can't wait to discover more.”
