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

"The prisoner is yours." I say, stopping by Jorje's office. He sits back in his chair and stares at me. "I want any and all information on the rebellion. You have my permission to take whatever steps are necessary to get the information. Don't kill him yet."


I don't wait for an answer. I don't need to. Jorje will do his job, he'll get what he can out of Gunther. Before I leave though, he calls out to me. 


"We got someone in lockup you should know about." I turn back to him and raise a brow in question. "Picked her up as a known rebel and you have her flagged in the paperwork as a friend to Mrs. Fuentes. Name's Emery Bailer."


I nod and consider him for a moment. I'm eager to get back to Taran. I've vowed not to go anywhere without her, yet in her weakened state I wasn't able to bring her with me. I placed a guard in the apartment and another on the outside of our door. I didn't want to pull resources from my security team, but Taran's safety is more important.
