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

Much to everyone's astonishment, Bishop Immers recently gifted three pounds to the renovation of Mellester's church, while speculation and idle gossip suggested he did so only to avoid a scandal that may have involved Priest Durwin Babcock, the younger. Priest Benedict couldn't care less for chin-wagging and preferred to be as far removed from the close scrutiny of Exeter's bishop as possible. As Mellester's church was currently undergoing renovations, he wanted to return to the village and ensure the House-Wright and his men were not skylarking and were delivering quality work as promised. 


He'd heard much about the gregarious young herdsman who held title on Falls Ende and had yet to make his acquaintance. Immediately upon returning to Mellester, he'd look forward to delivering the pyxis to him as instructed and form his own unbiased opinion on the nature of the young man.
