In a world where survival has a price tag, Nyla Okonkwo knows exactly what people are worth.

For eight years, she's been one of Lagos's top consent brokers-negotiating contracts where the poor sell pieces of their senses to the highest bidder. Sixty percent of your taste for your daughter's surgery. Seventy percent of touch for your mother's dialysis. It's legal. It's profitable. And Nyla has brokered 864 contracts without losing a night's sleep.

Until she meets Amara Okafor.

Twenty-two. Single mother. Drowning in medical debt. Amara is the perfect candidate for Project Meridian, SenseCorp's new flagship program: full sensory extraction. Sixty days. Fifty million naira payout. Nyla's biggest deal yet.

But as the extraction begins, Amara starts to fade-her memories, her language, her self. And the data Nyla uncovers reveals the truth: this isn't a side effect. It's the design.

Now Nyla must choose: complete the contract and secure her fortune, or destroy the system that made her rich-and risk becoming its next victim.

Some deals cost more than money. Some choices aren't really choices at all.

Perfect for fans of Never Let Me Go, The Power, and Severance, The Consent Broker is a haunting thriller about complicity, economic coercion, and what happens when capitalism finds its final frontier-the human body itself.

⚠️ Content note: This novel explores economic exploitation, cognitive erosion, and systemic coercion that some readers may find disturbing.
