PURPLEWOOD HILL

''All heroes are afraid,'' she said. ''There can''t be any bravery without fear. The most daring thing you can do is face your fears and go on anyway. But sometimes it''s better to heed your fears. No one can tell beforehand what the outcome of yourchoices will be. No one can tell what the limits of another person''s courage are. What do you think you should do?''

Purplewood Hill is much more than a detective. While DI Sandel follows her instincts about the mystery of a woman found dead on the ledge of the hill, she stumbles into some facts about her mother she rather wouldn''t know. Meanwhile, Eliza is struggling with her past in an effort to do what is best for her son Tiger. In tunnels under the hill, and the woods surroundingthe small and rural village Purplewood Hill, some strange beings are fighting an ancient war. And somehow it is all connected.
