The Lion Queen

With no previous experience, Andi Rive abandoned her old city life and devoted herself to tending a pride of lions and raising awareness about a species that is facing extinction.

New arrivals put added pressure on limited resources as two rescued lions arrive at Glen Garriff; a male, called TJ, is unwell and requires the vet, while a cub is mauled by one of the lions.

Glen Garriff Lion Reserve faces disaster after disaster; a fire burns out of control on a neighboring farm and threatens to spread to Glen Garriff, where a vital piece of firefighting equipment is out of action.

Andi takes the road to organize a tourist activity likely to generate essential income for the reserve; meanwhile, game hunters visit Glen Garriff.

A controlled burn threatens to spread across Glen Garriff; Andi visits her family in the city and as the financial woes deepen at Glen Garriff, she is forced to make a heartbreaking decision.

Andi struggles to recover from having to sell four lions; a scientist reveals the results of a recent study into wild lion genetics which forces Andi to question whether she's doing the right thing at Glen Garriff.
