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

Oswald moved with a start, causing all heads to turn to him. His hand appeared from beneath the table and placed an almost identical, but larger, piece of cloth on the table. "I, uh, I forgot I had this." His face turned a rosy shade of red.


"Where did you find it?" Odo cried. "This is from Charlotte!"


"It lay on the ground, outside the manor house of Lady Constance. I forgot I had it until I saw the piece Odo found." He was clearly embarrassed at his forgetfulness.


"Why did ye not tell me?" asked the reeve.


"When I picked it up, I spoke to ye, but ye were deaf to me," replied Oswald.


"It matters not," interrupted Sir Gweir. "Ye found it where exactly, Oswald?"


"T'was on far side of the manor house, milord. On the ground, only a step from the manor."


"How did it get there?" questioned Odo.


"Could it have been dropped or thrown from a window?" asked Sir Gweir.


"Aye, now that I think about it, where else could it have come from but a window?" offered Oswald.
