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.

The Templar commander glanced quickly at his associate. As Bishop Immers observed, the knight at the door stepped towards his commander and conferred in hushed tones before returning to his station.


"That is unfortunate." Sir William nodded and looked thoughtful for a moment before continuing. "And where would his possessions be? Where could we find them?" He took a small step closer to the bishop.


To Bishop Immers, the step was an implied threat. "It appears that good fortune smiles upon the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ this day, I have all his belongings here where they are to be destroyed."


"Show us, take us to them. Now." For the first time, Sir William expressed some excitement. He again turned to the knight at the door, the eye contact and affirmation an indication to the Bishop that whatever these men sought was very, very important.
