The King, also known as the Monstrosity, is a large and rare form of the Xenomorph XX121 species, that are only known to exist in the largest of Xenomorph hives.[1] They are very similar to the Queen caste but are much more built for combat than the egg-laying Queen. While known as a counterpart of the Queen, the exact role of the King is unknown. As Ovomorphs do not need to be fertilized, it is unlikely to be a reproductive caste. Most evidence would seem to point to the King being a commander caste like a Praetorian that would act as a hulking field commander for the lesser castes. It is unknown how a King is created and why they only exist in the largest Xenomorph hives.
Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up — she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan — her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.
