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

"I know not what creates the wind or makes grass grow. I know not why fire is hot or the sky blue. I accept these things because I know it to be so and is beyond question." Cathal paused a moment. "Just as I do not question why I must be near ye to keep yer safe."


"What say ye?" Odo was surprised. "Ye came here to Mellester to keep me safe?" he repeated.


Charlotte slid her chair close to Odo. Despite his earlier foul mood, he reached for her hand.


"Ye must trust me, the both of ye. What I do, I do fer ye both." Cathal leaned forward and met the gaze of the young couple before him. "I do not act fer myself, and I accept this task because it is asked of me. I do not have quarrel over this, for it is my destiny and yers to be linked to me. Do not ask me for answers, fer I have none. I do not expect ye to have answers either."
