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

I could easily kill her man and force her into Sanctuary. Give my wife the gift of her sister. But looking at the determined tilt to her chin and the glint of defiance in her grey eyes, I decide to leave her alone for now. She is so much like Taran the resemblance fucks with my head. Not just physically, but in her compassion for others and her determination to help, even if she's on the losing side of that battle.


Skye is not Taran though. It's not my job to protect this woman. If she chooses a path that leads to her death, then that's her decision. I don't have time to deal with her right now, I have bigger problems brewing on the horizon.


I nod toward Wolfe. "What's your combat experience outside of a Sanctuary? You any good at fighting on the move? I've lost men recently and need some good people for a mission. I'll pay you in weapons and ammunition."
