Hi, my name is Nikita Slater and I'm the International Bestselling author of The Queens series, Fire & Vice series, The Sanctuary series, Driven Hearts series and several standalone novels. I've loved the written word my entire life and am an avid reader, as well as a writer. I live, eat and breathe books and I'm always working on something new!
​
I live on the beautiful Canadian prairies with my son and crazy awesome dog. I have an unholy affinity for books (especially dark romance), wine, pets and anything chocolate. Despite some of the darker themes in my books (which are pure fun and fantasy), I am a staunch feminist and advocate of equal rights for all races, genders and non-gender specific persons. When I'm not writing, dreaming about writing or talking about writing, I love to help others discover a love of reading and writing through literacy and social work.

Only the strongest can survive in a hostile world ravaged by a disease that turns humans into primitives.

She is the Desert Wren, a rebel bent on providing safe passage to illegal refugees entering into her Sanctuary city. If she’s caught she’ll be executed, but the price is worth the privilege of doing what she knows is right. Except when she’s finally caught, the sentence isn’t death, it’s her freedom.

It’s the Warlord’s job to weed out the weak and sacrifice them for the good of the Sanctuary. Brutal and autocratic, he is the highest authority. The only threat to his dictatorship is a rebel faction rising up from the slums of his city. When he arrests a rebel leader, the Desert Wren, he sees his redemption. She will help him guide Sanctuary into the future. He just needs to convince his little captive that she’s better off with him than flying free.

What is the price of Sanctuary in a dying world and is it worth the sacrifice?


The Sanctuary Series

"Did you plan to meet him tonight?" I demand furiously, dragging pants over my legs. "Did you set this whole thing up? Convince me to take you out tonight with the intention of seeing Gunther?"


She rolls onto her back and sits up, flinching as her tender pussy touches the bed. She grabs the blanket and drags it up her chest, covering herself. Her makeup is badly smeared into a ghoulish mask that no longer resembles the sugar skull she'd painstakingly applied earlier. I ignore any guilt over her bruised flesh. She brought this on herself. She should be dead for this betrayal. Yet I can't bring myself to harm a hair on her head.  


"No!" she denies vehemently. "I had no idea he'd be there." Then she pauses, thrusts a hand through her hair and looks up at me with those beautiful, haunting grey eyes. "I suppose I could've guessed he'd be there. He's attracted to crowds and he would've been on the lookout for me."
