Book One of The Shades Trilogy
Louis Delano
Russell Carter leaves Rome, Georgia carrying a suitcase, a university acceptance letter, and the carefully constructed version of himself his family expects him to become.
Berlin offers him something Georgia never could: the possibility of becoming someone else.
Away from home and surrounded by a world that challenges everything he has been taught about identity, desire, morality and belonging, Russell begins to discover parts of himself he has spent years suppressing. What begins as freedom becomes something far more complicated when he meets Konrad - a man who sees through Russell's carefully maintained exterior and awakens emotions Russell is neither prepared nor willing to understand.
Their relationship develops through attraction, vulnerability, power and emotional dependence, forcing Russell to confront the conflict between the person he has always been told he should be and the person he is becoming.
Shades of Grey vs Shades of Pink is a dark, psychologically driven coming-of-age story about identity, desire, emotional vulnerability and the dangerous territory between control and surrender. It crosses the boundaries of psychological thriller, literary fiction, LGBTQ+ fiction and romance, refusing to settle comfortably into a single genre.
This is not simply a story about falling in love. It is a story about discovery - and what happens when discovering who you really are means leaving behind everything you thought you knew about yourself.
The first descent begins here.
The Shades Trilogy continues with Book Two, Shades of Pink vs Shades of Red, and concludes with Book Three, Shades of Red vs Shades of Black.
