Every year, the world's most powerful gather at a clandestine black-tie auction. Their currency? Human memories. Sold to the highest bidder, these stolen moments-first kisses, murders, glorious victories, even entire love affairs-are experienced as if they were their own. It's a market of the heart, bought and sold in the shadows.
For Lena, it's a nightmare come true. Her most cherished memory, the incandescent night she fell in love, has been snatched and put on the block. To reclaim the piece of herself that was stolen, she must infiltrate this exclusive, dangerous world.
Her only hope is Kael, a charming grifter who knows the black market better than anyone-because he's been selling pieces of himself for years. As they navigate the ritzy, treacherous world of the memory elite, a desperate alliance sparks into an undeniable connection.
But the closer they get to Lena's stolen memory, the more a chilling truth begins to surface: The man helping her might be the very one she loved, only he remembers nothing of their past.
The Auctioneer's Lie is a thrilling journey into a world where desire and deception intertwine, where the past is a commodity, and where the most precious thing you own... might be the love you can't remember. Can Lena reclaim her past without losing her future, or is true love just another memory waiting to be stolen?
