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."

Their scorching, sensual affair ended in heartbreak and recrimination, but Christian Grey cannot get Anastasia Steele out of his mind, or his blood. Determined to win her back, he tries to suppress his darkest desires and his need for complete control, and to love Ana on her own terms.

But the horrors of his childhood still haunt him, and Ana´s scheming boss, Jack Hyde, clearly wants her for himself. Can Christian´s confidant and therapist, Dr. Flynn, help him face down his demons? Or will the possessiveness of Elena, his seducer, and the deranged devotion of Leila, his former submissive, drag Christian down into the past?

And if Christian does win Ana back, can a man so dark and damaged ever hope to keep her?
