The Consent Broker

In Lagos, survival has a cost. For many, that cost is their senses.

Nyla Okonkwo is one of the city's most successful consent brokers, arranging legal contracts where people exchange portions of sight, sound, taste, touch, or smell in order to pay their debts. She has made a career out of negotiating these difficult choices—until she meets Amara Okafor, a young mother facing an impossible situation.

Amara agrees to take part in Project Meridian, a full-sensory extraction that promises a life-changing payout. But when the procedure begins, she starts losing more than her senses. Her memories and identity begin to fade in ways no contract ever described.

As Nyla investigates, she uncovers the true purpose behind the program and must decide whether to defend the system that made her successful or confront a truth that could destroy it.
