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

"Oswald wanted Odo to have it because he knew the value of it and he trusted Odo to make the right decision over it."


"I have not seen this letter, so I cannot say."


"Perhaps, Charlotte. I would need to hear the letter read again," Odo suggested.


Sir William cleared his throat. "When we find the pyxis we will return it to ye, I give ye my word on this. I ask ye in the name of the Church and the holy spirit that you allow us to keep it." He looked closely at Odo. "We, the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and the Order of the Temple of Solomon will offer ye a reward fer the pyxis. I expect this may also provide ye with some help with the problem ye have with yer cows."


Odo's face clouded over. "I will think on this, but for now it is for nought, for ye do not have it and I know not where it is."


"When ye went home, the night the outlaws were there, did ye see it on the table where ye left it?" Charlotte asked.
