Land of Ghosts: The unforgettable new love story from the global bestselling author of Fifty Shades of Grey
About this audiobook
From global phenomenon EL James, author of the record-breaking Fifty Shades of Grey series, comes an unforgettable new novel about love, loss and an impossible romance that defies even death itself.
In a single, devastating moment, I lost everyone I loved.
Now I'm in London, living with my sort-of-uncle Dylan.
And the only thing we have in common is loss.
This new life isn't a life. It's unbearable.
Except––there's someone else here.
A young man.
He can’t be real. Can he?
He's funny, cool, infuriating... and he understands me in a way no one else does.
But only I can see him.
Before I know it, he's all I can think about. All I can dream about.
Am I falling in love... with a ghost?
'E L James is a legend in her own time' Freida McFadden
