Jamie-Lyn Anderson had been the young reporter who'd stumbled across the alien's arrival. She'd formed a close friendship with him as he'd settled into his new surroundings. He'd taken her with him when The Queen's Guard had been formed and she'd worked the PR for the team under the government's direction. Now as an established face of TV news she is about to find her old life colliding with her new. The Queen's Guard may have long since gone their separate ways but a brutal murder on live TV is about to bring them all back together whether they like it or not.
