The small picturesque hamlet of Mellester in Devonshire, England, is home to herdsman, Godwin Read and his son, Odo. When the aging knight, Sir William Ainsley, Lord of Mellester Manor goes on a hunt for wild boar, the inexplicable happens, and Godwin makes a decision that will ultimately impact their lives and Mellester Manor for ever. 

Set during the tumultuous reign of King Henry II, in feudal England, the quiet and peace of Mellester Manor is shaken by the unexpected. For Odo, there is more at stake than just his dignity and pride because they’ve already been taken, all he has left is his life. Will Falls Ende see his downfall and disgrace and how far will one man go to protect what’s closest to his heart?

Falls Ende is more than a simple story, it’s a saga of survival against all the odds.

Falls Ende

Charlotte cowered in the corner as the man entered her room to remove the dishes. As he walked passed her, he lashed out and gave a sadistic kick to her side. She cried out in pain and remained unmoving long after the door was closed and locked. 


Why did he do this? Lady Constance had shown nothing but warmth and kindness, maybe too much, and yet her man-servant was brutal. Was she not aware of his inhuman cruelty? Of course, if she was, then why didn't she stop it? 


Time seemed to crawl. From time to time she heard noises, voices, and at one point there was some sort of argument. Even with her ear pressed against the door she was unable to hear any words clearly.
