Audiokniha

In this neon-lit future, fame comes with a twist: the rich and powerful can create Portraits—perfect copies of themselves to handle the exhausting burdens of celebrity. For washed-up film star Lulabelle Rock, that means twelve clones performing every tiresome task on her behalf, from red-carpet appearances to awkward interviews. But times are changing, and you can have too much of a good thing. When the allure of clones fades, and the sparkle turns to scandal, Lulabelle's solution is simple: hit reset. Time is up for her twelve Portraits. Enter lucky number thirteen—a new clone with a singular purpose: to hunt down and assassinate her predecessors. After all, clones aren't people…right? It's not murder. Not really. But as Lulabelle 13 navigates the dizzying glitz, grime, and moral haze of Bubble City, she starts to wonder: what defines a life worth sparing?
