The Forgotten Auction
Every hundred years, an underground auction takes place in a secret location, selling off the most valuable commodities in existence, not gold, not jewels, but memories themselves. The highest bidders are the world’s most powerful individuals, willing to pay anything for the memories of geniuses, warriors, and visionaries.
A struggling writer, Nia Okafor, receives a mysterious invitation to the auction, though she has never heard of it before. Curiosity leads her to a hidden chamber beneath an abandoned library in Lagos, where she discovers that her memories, ones she doesn’t even recall losing, are up for sale. Shocked and confused, she realizes that pieces of her past, including a forgotten childhood and a love she once had, were taken from her without her consent.
Determined to reclaim what was stolen, Nia infiltrates the elite world of memory traders. As she bids against shadowy billionaires and secret organizations, she unearths the shocking truth: someone is selling the memories of an ancient civilization that was erased from history, because they held knowledge that could destroy the modern world.
With time running out and dangerous forces hunting her down, Nia must decide: should she fight to recover her past, or should she risk everything to protect a secret that could reshape humanity’s future?
