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

Charlotte cleared her throat. "My gift fer ye, Odo, is bestowed unto ye through these words and in this pyxis. It is my invocation to ye to accept this gift, and with persistence, may ye dwell upon these words and heed my precept ~ fer gift lays within. Gift is my legacy. Blessed be to yer. Anon, yer father."


"And what do we do with this?" Charlotte held the vellum up. "Cathal?"


"I cannot influence yer; this is yer decision and choice, Odo."


"Do we inform the Templars? Charlotte asked.


"I think we should," Odo replied slowly, but it does not mean they will have it, but it is only fair to tell them we have what they seek so they can stop looking fer it. It is wrong to hide this from them. What happens afterwards depends on what they say and do."


Cathal smiled. "Ye are a proper and just man, Odo."


Odo grimaced at the acknowledgement. "We need to hide and keep it safe." He scratched at his head. "I have an idea."
