This rare combination of groundbreaking storytelling and international recognition cements Woolf as an author to watch on the global stage.
In this razor-sharp sci-fi thriller, Maud Woolf unveils a gripping tale set in a futuristic Los Angeles where identity, freedom, and existential truths collide.
Lulabelle Rock, the 13th clone of a famous film actress, is thrust into a brutal mission the moment she’s born: armed with a gun, she’s tasked with hunting down and eliminating all previous versions of herself roaming Bubble City. What begins as a bold marketing stunt spirals into a blood-soaked killing spree—one that forces Lulabelle to confront profound questions about individuality and destiny. In a world where every action feels predestined, how do you carve out your freedom? And what does it truly mean to be you?
With every life she takes, Lulabelle gets closer to answers—and further from who she once was. By the end of her harrowing journey through the night, she will have transformed in ways no one could predict.
