Grey

Readers know Christian as someone who exercises control in all aspects of his life. His world is neat, disciplined and empty - until the moment that Anastasia Steele stumbles into his office. What is it about her that captivates him? Why can't he forget her? He is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and cannot resist.

"Fifty Shades of Grey is a love story that has captivated a readership like no other book" says Selina Walker, Arrow publisher and E L James' UK editor. "I was absolutely thrilled when we heard that Erika wanted to write Christian's side of the story. Grey is just as addictive as the trilogy, and I know that this is what the fans have been waiting for."

In the new work, James will offer her fans the opportunity to see the world of Fifty Shades anew through the eyes of its intriguing and enigmatic protagonist. "Christian is a complex character," said James, "and readers have always been fascinated by his desires and motivations, and his troubled past. Also, as anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows, there are two sides to every story.
